What role has human activity played in causing climate

change and what can be done to slow down its effects?

Climate change is a natural phenomenon, however, more and more unreasonable human activity is speeding up climate change. At the same time, nature seems to be punishing humans. In recent years, more and more natural disasters have begun to appear because of climate change, such as tornadoes, flooding and increase of desert areas. Today, climate change has entered a vicious circle and we must do everything we can to slow it down. In this essay, I will show that human activity has played an extremely important role in climate change. Firstly, this essay will describe three main human activities that are speeding up climate change, i.e. greenhouse gas emissions, population growth and particulate matter emissions. After each problem I will show some appropriate measures which have been taken to slow down the effects of human activity.

Firstly, this essay will analyse greenhouse gas emissions. “At the turn of this century scientists suggested that the carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels could influence the global climate”(Carter, 2007, p70). Now, in order to the social development can be fast, human use a large number of fossil fuels. Large amount of greenhouse gas discharged everyday because of fuel burning. Many factories release harmful gases which can damage the atmosphere around the clock, such as sulfur dioxide and chlorine. Thousands of cars release carbon dioxide every minute in the world. These harmful gases and carbon dioxide can lead to global warming, and break the rhythm of climate change.

In recent years, the increasing greenhouse gases emissions has attracted the attention of the government and scientist. At the same time, climate change
