Global warming is one of the biggest threats humans face in the 21st Century and sea levels are continuing to rise at alarming rates.

What problems are associated with this and what are some possible solutions.

Global warming and rise in sea levels have emerged as a major threat to mankind in the modern era. It has become an alarming situation for many politicians and environmentalists thereby, making many experts scramble for the associated consequences  and the plausible solutions for this pressing challenge.

Undoubtedly, global climate change has already had an observable effect on the environment, it is believed by the environmental experts that there are still other occurrences which might take place simultaneously like loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves to name a few. Consequently, affecting the ecological balance adversely. In the long run, there is a great possibility that the environment may become incompatible for life, causing extinction of not only flora and fauna but humans too.

There are several ways to overcome this challenge and reduce its effect on the planet, one of the prominent solutions suggested by experts involve the contribution of government and individuals – it is to resort to the eco friendly measures like  switching to the non- polluting energy resources such as wind and solar energy to generate electricity, instead of using fossil fuels.

Moreover, switching to sustainable transportation and infrastructure can also act a credible preventive measure to surmount global warming. Promoting the use of public transportation, carpooling, and also electric modes transit can help cut down emission of carbon dioxide. Besides this, reducing the use of air conditioners and heating systems in domestic and commercial buildings can help in conquering this major perilous phenomenon.

In hindsight, I personally feel that although the environment is on the edge of total collapse, a lot can be salvaged and impending danger can be averted by adopting appropriate measures at all levels: individual and social.
