    The document discusses the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring due to human-caused increases in greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial revolution onward. It notes the impacts already being seen around the world, such as rising temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather. To avoid the worst effects of climate change, scientists agree we must limit warming to 1.5°C by 2040 by making large cuts to fossil fuel emissions through transitioning to alternative energy sources and improving sustainability. While some actions have been taken, they are not enough yet to significantly reduce the rate of climate change.

    Geologists and Climatologists has concluded the fact that there is indeed the presence

    of Global Warming since the start of the industrial revolution – where people start use
    industrial and mechanical means of manufacturing through technological,
    socioeconomic and cultural processes. But among these common process
    Technological ways of the Industrial Revolution is the most widely used. This is because
    it uses the basic materials such as steel, invention of new machines, factory systems
    and the most common is the use of fossil fuels.

    Global warming is already taking a toll around the world and if we are not able nor
    capable of handling these effects dangerous levels of climate change will occur: melting
    glaciers, rising sea levels, environmental troublesome, flooding, uncontrollable
    greenhouse gases, uncontrollable temperatures like the El Nino and La Nina effects, air
    pollutions and other environmental hazards.

    As a result, the planet that has never been hotter. Nine out of the 10 warmest years
    since 1880 have occurred since 2005 - and the 5 warmest years on record have all
    occurred since 2015. Scientists and people who deny the Climate change have argued
    that there has been a “pause” or a “slowdown” in rising global temperatures, but
    numerous studies, including a 2018 paper published in the journal Environmental
    Research Letters, have disproved this claim. The impacts of global warming are already
    harming people around the world – in every environment and culture.

    With this climate scientists have concluded that we must limit global warming to 1.5
    degrees Celsius by 2040 if we are to avoid a future in which everyday life around the
    world is marked by its worst, most devastating effects - the extreme droughts, wildfires,
    floods, tropical storms, and other disasters that we refer to collectively as climate
    change. These effects are felt by all people in one way or another but are  experienced
    most acutely by the underprivileged, the economically marginalized, and people of
    color, for whom climate change is often a key driver of poverty, displacement, hunger,
    and social unrest.

    The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientists have
    also concluded that our environmental temperature increased during the last century.
    The beginning of Industrial revolution – the first burning of coal in 1750 – has marked
    the start of the differentiated energy sources, thus emitting fossil fuels (the main driver
    of today’s warming) in the atmosphere especially Carbon Dioxide. They have agreed
    that these fossil fuels are the primary source of the cause of global warming and curbing
    the dangerous climate change curves requires large cuts of the emissions of fossil fuels
    which will eventually produce a big effect in our global industry. Even the use of
    alternative fossil fuels must be limited if we want to lower the effects of Global Warming.
    The not-so-good news is that we are not working fast enough to lower these effects.
    Although we have started actions to prevent global warming these actions are still not
    enough to down-size the curves of the climate change effects – in short, we need to do
    a lot more and we need to do it in a fact pace. We have to make use of alternative
    energy sources and we need to improve our way of living trying to lower CO2 emissions
    by taking public transportations and/or carpooling, use of solar energy or wind energy to
    generate electricity – putting it in a large-scale level.

    Global warming is not something to take lightly. The ultimate claim is that humans are a
    large factor in the increased rate of global warming. It is a major challenge for humans –
    though we also must prepare for the worst and adapt. It is costly to change but it is for
    the benefit of mankind.
