GLOBAL WARMING
Understanding and Addressing Climate Change
The rise of Earth’s temperature in an environment due to human activities is called global warming. It is dangerous for flora, fauna and our natural ecosystem. Global warming may arise different life-threatening issues. Through studies, it can be noticed that the temperature of the Earth will increase so many times in the coming years that it would be impossible for every specie to live on this Earth.
It is crucial for people, governments, and organizations all around the world to comprehend the causes, effects, and potential solutions of global warming. This review lays the basis for a deeper investigation of this important environmental problem and the coordinated efforts to address it.
CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING
There are many reasons for the major causes of global warming but from a scientific point of view following are the three causes of global warming.
1) GREENHOUSE GASES
Rays coming from the sun will collide with Earth’s surface. Some of them will absorb and some of them will reflect the atmosphere. If the atmosphere is clear then the temperature of the earth is normal but because of human activities, air pollution is increasing in our environment day by day. due to these human activities, some gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrous oxide (NO2), Methane(CH4) and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are produced which are called greenhouse gases.
-Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced by the burning of fuel.
-Different gases like Nitrous oxide are emitted from fertilizers which make the environment polluted.
-Methane(CH4) or biogas is produced from the faeces of animals or the decomposition of bacteria.
Chlorofluorocarbons ( CFCs) Freon is a gas which is used in refrigerators or air conditioners when it is leaked it will go into the atmosphere and make greenhouse gas.
Some sun rays will trap in the lower atmosphere due to these greenhouse gases. As a result, the temperature of the earth increases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Methane(CH4) are the gases which are responsible for 95% of global warming.
2)DEFORESTATION
As the population is increasing day by day, people are cutting trees for their purposes leading to deforestation. More and more trees are cutting which increases the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
3)DEPLETION OF OZONE LAYER
Ozone is a protective layer in Earth’s atmosphere. The ozone layer is gradually declining because of the high temperature on Earth. Harmful ultraviolet rays are coming from the sun and are absorbed by different greenhouse gases resulting in global warming.
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming will not only affect the atmosphere but it harms climatic changes such as changing weather patterns and high temperature in the summer season. prolonged summer season and short winter season, rain without season, melting icecaps and glaciers, rising sea levels, and natural disasters like heavy storms, cyclones, and floods.
SOLUTIONS OF GLOBAL WARMING
As a Citizen, we should take proper actions and solutions to reduce the effect of global warming in the world.
1- Government should arrange proper seminars and programmes to create awareness among people globally.
2-Take proper measures against the emission of different harmful greenhouse gases.
3-Controlling population growth is the main solution to global warming.
4-Expanding and improving public transportation systems can reduce the number of individual car trips and decrease emissions.
5-Spend money for the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and other research projects.
6-Carbon pricing strategies, such carbon taxes or cap-and-trade programs, can encourage organizations and people to cut their carbon emissions.
7-Reusing, repairing, and recycling products lowers the negative environmental effects of production and disposal.
8-Emissions can be considerably reduced by increasing energy efficiency in houses, transportation, and businesses. Adopting energy-efficient appliances, improved insulation, and more fuel-efficient automobiles are a few examples of this.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Everything either living or non-living which are in our surroundings makes an environment. An environment consists of earth, air, water, plants and animals. Different pollutants that make our environment contaminated are called environmental pollution. Pollutants are different harmful substances that are the result of human activities making our natural environment dirty. Environmental pollution is life-threatening because it destroys our natural ecosystem.

Shop Local
When talking about entrepreneurship, people's minds always divert to companies such as Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and the Big Four. To most people, big businesses are the pinnacle of gathering resources and benefiting the economy by providing thousands of jobs. However, beneath the surface lies a vital ecosystem that plays a pivotal role in maintaining economic stability: local businesses. These enterprises, ranging from quaint mom-and-pop shops to innovative startups, form the backbone of communities, driving employment, fostering innovation, and bolstering economic resilience.

The Farmer's Duty
As the sun rose over the fields, John stirred from his slumber, his body aching from a long day's work. He was a farmer, and his duty was to tend to the land, to nurture the crops, and to provide for his family. He had learned the ways of farming from his father, who had learned from his father before him. It was a tradition that went back generations, and John was proud to be a part of it.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
