Fighting global warming

Global warming is the excessive increase in temperature of the earth, which has caused a rapid and uncontrollable climate change. Global warming is produced as a result of increased emissions of gases that cause the greenhouse. These gases that are mostly caused by humans are those who have endangered the life of the planet. For a long time we believed that the planet Earth was an infinite resource and indestructible, but the truth is that it is not. That we are wasting the planet's true, but what we are doing to allay the damage?

The consequences of this problem have been so great, that to minimize the damage has become a duty worldwide. SitioSol mentioned on its website some of the actions taken to combat global warming, however, put the Kyoto Protocol as the most important. In 1997 they met in the city of Japan called Kyoto, delegations from 35 industrialized countries, all reached an agreement to reduce in a period of 4 years gases emissions in their countries by 5%. This project has been very successful and has become almost a law that must comply all countries with based on their potential.

If we talk about measures to take, the British are the biggest example. Currently the government is working on implementing a project that reduced by 60% its greenhouse gases. It aims to limit greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Julia Slingo director of the National Science Center atmosphere the UK, has been investigating for years the causes and consequences of global warming. She commented on the British project "With this bill on climate change, the United Kingdom leaves no doubt in his address to the nation and the rest of the world: the impulse to take action to address the problem is unavoidable" (Slingo). In Europe other countries like Spain have shown interest in combating this problem.

Latin America has not made a blind eye. Mexico has decided to adopt measures such as reforestation and boost renewable energy. Chile has been among the countries concerned and further contributions, has become the fifth country with more gas reduction. But not all countries are so aware; unfortunately there is a lot of people who do not mind the welfare of the planet. United States is the country that produces more greenhouse gases, however, has not wanted to join the Kyoto project. Americans know that if we do nothing, we can lose the planet.

I'm sure that everybody wants a good life. But for that we must protect the only place where we have for live. The care of the planet is not the duty of large industries; it is the duty of all. There is only one planet, and today technology allows us access to organic products. As citizens we have a duty to protect the planet. We must do it now before it's too late
