When Al Gore and other scientists won for the Nobel Prize, the public were not so much surprised. The topic on global warming has always been a threat to the world as it faces the negative effects of an industrialized world. What Gore and his colleagues had done is to show artistically and scientifically the effects of global warming and how it affects climactic patterns and the overall patterns of the earth. Although the presentation is computer generated simulations, the impact is now being felt globally.
The reports are true. Global warming is a threat even to our children's grandchildren. Worse is, the next generation would suffer heavily from the wanton destruction that we had done to contribute global warming. Thus, countries all over the world talk about possible solutions in this phenomenon. In the U.S, the US Climate Policy created an order which consisted of three parts namely: slowing the growth of emissions, strengthening the development of science and research studies and Enhancing international cooperation.
The authorities believed that a high percentage of carbon emission does not come from vehicles but in the electric power plants which use fossil fuels to operate turbines that provide electricity in millions of US citizens. We are not aware of it but we are great contributors of global warming because our appliances at home are all powered by electricity. Moreover, some of our appliances like our air-conditioners and refrigerators also emit chlorofluorocarbons that clog the ozone layer thus creating global warming.
The US government has also established policies for states observed to have the heaviest carbon concentration in the atmosphere. Some of the places include California, Florida, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. The Senate is also passing a number of bills for global warming, possibly the strict implementation of the anti-belching act and the introduction of biofuels in the market.
The study of global warming is not only for scientists, Nobel Prize winners and politicians who theorized ways to prevent our worsening conditions. One just have to stay at least ten minutes outdoors, smell the fumes from the vehicles and feel the uneasy heat of the surroundings. It should not also take eons to solve this problem before we can say that the earth has retaliated after all the bad things that we have done to it. What we are experiencing now is the living testimony to the correctness of the facts presented in Al Gore's documentary.
