The environmental conditions of earth are solely responsible for our existence on it. Without proper and favorable environmental conditions, we cannot even imagine our survival on earth. The ultimate atmosphere of earth, which contains a layer of gases, protects life on the ‘Green Planet’ by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.

However the major part of the air is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, there are many other gases, often referred to as ‘Green House Gases’ that are responsible for making the planet a place suitable for existence of life by holding the heat of sun so that the temperature of the earth could support life on it. So, we can say that, there is a big role of green house gases for the survival of the life elements on Earth but what would be happen if the temperature becomes too high? In such conditions would there be any life on earth? Let’s simplify this; the green house gases support life but only when they are present in a particular concentration and they will no longer produce the same effect if there will be a change in their concentration.

There are many reasons today that are affecting the concentration of the Green House Gases and this is the major reason that the temperature of earth is gradually getting warmer and warmer. Yes, our Planet is suffering today from the ‘Global Warming’ that if the situation is not controlled in time, the time is not far away when most of life varieties of earth will become extinct. There is a need of action today to save our tomorrow.

As carbon-di-oxide (CO2) gas is mainly responsible for the Global warming, by controlling the concentration of it, we can control the situation efficiently. Climate change is very likely having an impact now on our planet and its life but the good news is that there are plenty of things that we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. Being a great  ‘Carbon Credits’, can be used to compensate our carbon footprints. A carbon offset is designed as a simplest way to reduce or eliminate our carbon footprint. The goal of buying and selling carbon offsets is to get everyone’s carbon footprint to zero.

Anyone can to take his/her responsibility towards environment. There are many online services that to give you the power to change the disastrous effect of your action, which otherwise can ruin the existence of life on it forever.

Today, the unwise use of the natural environment due to ignorance, poverty, overpopulation and greed amongst others has led to the degradation of the world, especially African environment. This degradation occur as Africans attempt to adjust their selfish endless wants and desires for food, shelter, recreation, infrastructural facilities, and have led to soil erosion and desertification and that over crowding has led to the spread of shanty towns and urban blight, all of which would worsen if the present population growth continues. The consequence of this environmental mismanagement is Climate Change.

Climate change is certainly no longer alien. Already, its effects are being felt in the world. one of the pronounced effects of climate change is the gradual warming of the atmosphere which could portend doom for the inhabitants of the earth. A warming atmosphere means rise in sea level, which could lead to coaster flooding, and more diseases such as malaria, West Nile disease, dengue fever and river blindness. Climate change is an “unprecedented” threat to food security and this affects the whole world. Droughts are getting worse and climate uncertainty is growing. The world is getting warming (global warming). “Global warming means that that many dry areas are going to get drier and wet areas are going to get wetter. Africa is truly facing the greatest catastrophe in human history. If nothing is done to proffer sustainable solutions to this threat, large part of the continent may be wipe off. Tony Juniper, executive director of Friends of the Earth said that “Climate change is overwhelming the situation in Africa… unless we take genuine steps now to reduce our emissions, people in the developed world will be condemning millions to hunger, starvation and death”.

I’m on a short time research on the effects of climate change in the island area of Lagos, Nigeria…My research so far shows that climate change represents a nightmare scenario for the future of the people of the world. Areas such as Lekki, Victoria Island in Lagos could become submerged. The sea level is rising at an alarming rate, drought and erosion are hitting deep many cities and lives are in serious danger. The consequence of these problems would be dramatic declines in rainfall and a fall in crop yields that could make previous famines look like small tragedies. There are likely to be severe water shortages in many parts of the African continent. We are even seeing the signs of this, as the people are living in great fear even when the words “Climate Change” is a confusing term to them because they lack the proper understand of it.

Despite these diseases such as malaria, West Nile disease, dengue fever and river blindness that were mentioned above, the governments are not even concern about the threat of climate change. Even journalists and media houses are busy promoting political “corruptors” and businesses/organizations that lacks personal or corporate social responsibility rather than educating the common people via public awareness of this devil called “Climate Change”. Anyway, many of African journalists don’t even know what climate change is all about. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.

The Earth and Venus are near each other in the Solar System, and are similar in size, density, and composition. Based on our understanding of the origin of the Solar System, we would expect that their initial atmospheres would have been rather similar. Yet the present atmospheres of the two planets could hardly be much more different than they are. How did this come to be? The reason is thought to lie in what is termed the “Run Read more…

The main reason for deforestation is the demand for fuel, wood and paper products, cattle ranching, farming, mining and road construction. Half of all the trees cut down in the world are used for fuel. Burning wood is common in developing countries where there are often no readily-available alternatives. This in itself may not a huge problem; only, most of these trees are not replaced, which is a problem. The use of wood and paper Read more…

Renewable energy is a growing trend in our world today and is going to grow much more as the need to supplement our global energy continues. These energy sources are pollution free since they are don’t admit carbons that are found in fossil fuels. Another advantage of using renewable energy is the fact that it helps in the fight against global warming. Exploring this energy allows homeowners to take the first step in breaking f Read more…

I INTRODUCTION

Earth (planet), one of nine planets in the solar system, the only planet known to harbor life, and the “home” of human beings. From space Earth resembles a big blue marble with swirling white clouds floating above blue oceans. About 71 percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water, which is essential to life. The rest is land, mostly in the form of continents that rise above the oceans.
