HELP ME PLEASE! The global climate is changing, and this change is apparent across many of Earth’s subsystems. Multiple sources attribute the global warming of the past 50 years to human activity and influence. Activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas release carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These heat-trapping “greenhouse gases” have increased global temperatures and caused changes such as melting glaciers and powerful storms. These changes are happening because Earth's air, water, and land are all linked to its climate. How do you think greenhouse gas emissions and global climate will change during the next 50 years? If greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures continue rising, what other changes might you expect to see throughout the world? Humans are working to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, but are their current solutions going to make a big enough impact? In addition to reducing human dependence on fossil fuels, what other solutions could help combat greenhouse gas emissions and global warming?

Step-by-step explanation

As stated last unit, people are the ones at fault for destroying the earth, which was proven during the April 2020 quarantine. The earth was healing itself since it didn't have people to hurt it, which is sad when you think about it. I think we are on the right track with using more renewable energy sources, carpooling when possible, drive electric cars, etc. If nothing is done, then we could see possible extinction of species, due to the disruption of the food chain, melting of polar ice caps, etc.

But I believe that 50 years from now, the climate will be much worse than it is today. I think that global warming will reach a peak, most likely within the next century, and then start cooling down as people realize they need to start being more careful with their planet. I believe that because of the heat, the ice caps will start melting more and more, leading to the rising of sea levels and drastic flooding. People are trying to help save the planet, but it might not be enough. Solar power, electric cars, and making deforestation illegal all help, but we need to do more. We need to make solar power and electric cars more popular and wider spread. We also need to make growing back the destroyed forests a top priority. I believe that humans are trying, but we need to get more people on board to help.

Explanation:to control global warming we should control the green house gases which are the carbon dioxide formed by burning fossil fuels, methne formed by burning Agricultural fields, and also the nitrous oxide from nylon manufacturing.

So as a solution we should use technologies whichcan reduce smokes like by using solar and electric cars and recycling wastes instead of burning
