One of the latest issues that has almost everybody concerned is global warming. The climate is changing and the prognosis doesn’t look good. Global warming refers to the unabated rise in the average temperature of the planet as brought about by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Many believe that the use of alternative energy sources will reduce carbon emissions and that will help hold back global warming.

Greenhouse gases are created by both natural processes and human activity. The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, ozone, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). There are many causes of greenhouse gases but the primary culprit is the consumption of fossil fuels that continued to release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Deforestation compounded the problem because trees and plants are supposed to absorb the carbon dioxide but now there’s not enough of them left to do the cleanup of the atmosphere.

Scientists also blame the use of CFCs in refrigeration systems and in fire fighting, and other manufacturing practices in producing the greenhouse effect. Even the application of non-organic fertilizers in commercial farming operations also gives rise to another greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide.

Lord Nicholas Stern, economist and author of the acclaimed and much-discussed Stern Review of 2006, spoke recently at the Royal Geographical Society about the world’s major problems and his suggested solutions to them. This, in summary, is what he said.

The two great issues of the 21st century – poverty and climate change – are interdependent: they succeed or fail together. The economic crisis we are now experiencing is a shorter, shallower problem.

The latest progeny of climate change has led various companies to propagate innovations towards green solutions campaign.  Their growing aphorism towards zero waste in both developing and developed countries sheds new light towards a green campaign. These companies intend to convert waste into useful by products that could be of use in the world market. Finding solutions for a problem is never easy, it is a challenge where you have to determine what would be the best in that specific situation. Addressing the issues of climate change entails a complexity of problems and a huge risk towards finding the better outcome to ward off this growing concern.

Exploring the anatomy of each problem, where we could determine the probable cause and incorporating our ideas that would construe the matters at hand. Multiple factors are at stake and it depends on our decisions and how it would affect our planet.  We have to understand why green solutions and sustainable strategies are significant approach towards a valuable way of life. Certain technological developments are being conducted that would help reduce the environmental impact of green house gases into the atmosphere. Companies such as True Bio Electric (TBE) and Global Environment Energy Group (GEECF) promotes various undertakings such as developing new technologies in converting waste to energy, mitigating your emissions, providing information about the environment and other green solutions that can be applied in vast areas with regards to saving the environment.
