Abstract :
Global climate change is very sensitive and
important; its ramification is threatening the very
existence of human being on the planet earth. In this
paper, we brought to the fore the evidence of climate
change and its main characteristic: global warming
which can be seen everywhere. Fossil fuel burning to
generate electricity, power factories, drive
transportation industries and their attendance emission
of greenhouse gases (e.g carbon dioxide) which are the
bane of temperature rise in the world were discussed.
Other causes of global climate change which include,
deforestation and livestock farming were also mentioned.
The paper emphasized the fact that, the effects of the
change in the climate could be observed on the oceans,
water resources, precipitations and glaciers. We also
provided information in the paper that global climate
change mitigating factors could be taken to reduce and
slow down anthropogenic induced temperature rise. The
mitigation, we showed in the article could encompass
introducing new technologies and renewable energies.
The article also enumerated global climate change
protocols such as the Kyoto Protocol and Paris
Agreement. These protocols as shown could be used to
monitor and regulate activities that promote
temperature rise. The researchers accentuated their
results based on the usage of fossil fuels and carbon
dioxide emission by the continents (Asia, Europe,
America and Africa) in 2020 and 2021. The results in the
write-up showed that Asia powered by China consumed
the most fossil fuels and emitted the highest carbon
dioxide than the rest of the continents.
