The increase in temperature has occurred since the second half of the nineteenth century and must continue while the emissions remain high.
Decline in Arctic sea ice is one of the clearest signs of global warming. The animation shows the reduction between 1979 and 2010.
The increase of the global temperature and the new composition of the atmosphere cause important changes in practically all the systems and the natural cycles of the Earth.
The changes brought about by global warming in the biological, chemical and physical systems in the world are enormous, some are long-term and others are irreversible, and are already causing a great geographical redistribution of biodiversity, leading to the decline of the population of many species, modifying and disrupting large-scale ecosystems, and consequently generating serious problems for food production, water supply and the production of various goods for the benefit of humanity that depend on the stability of climate and integrity of biodiversity.
These effects are closely related to each other, influence each other amplifying their negative impacts and the production of new factors for the intensification of global warming. Warming and its consequences will be different from region to region, and the Arctic is the region that is warming the fastest.
The nature and extent of these regional variations are still difficult to predict with accuracy, but it is known that no region of the world will save changes. Many will be penalized to a large extent, especially the poorest and with the least resources for adaptation.
Even if greenhouse gas emissions cease immediately, the temperature will continue to rise for a few more decades, as the effect of the gas is slow to fully manifest on a global scale and will remain active for a long time. It is clear that a drastic reduction of emissions will not occur immediately, so you will have to adapt to the inevitable consequences of warming.
Given that the consequences will be more serious than the greater greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to start reducing these emissions as soon as possible in order to minimize the impact of this and future generations.

How can we avoid global warming?
1. Transportation. Reduce the individual and promote colective mediums.
2. Domestic energy. Decrease your spending with energy label appliances or turning appliances off completely (and not in standby mode).
3. Waste. Promote waste separation and recycling.
4. Materials. Reuse them whenever possible (paper, toys, tools, furniture ...) and avoid using bags, boxes and packaging.
5. Water. Reduce your consumption by placing, for example, bottles in the tanks.
6. Watering. Minimize the irrigation of gardens and promote the system by drip.
7. Urbanize. Only where it is known that there will be enough water in the long term. On many occasions licenses are granted where there is no water.
8. Nature Respect the protected spaces and minimize the impact on natural areas.
9. Houses. Build them with good thermal insulating materials so that the investment in heating and air conditioning is lower
10. Slit. Improve insulators in windows and doors because between 5% and 10% of the heat of the home escapes through them.
11. Photovoltaic solar panels connected to the electricity grid.
12. Alternative energies. Give more value and be willing to finance them. If we all support them, they will be profitable, even if they are more expensive.
13. Taxes. Enable allocation for the conservation of resources.
14. Soil Minimize changes in land use and, in general, artificial soil.
15. Impact. Give more importance to environmental impact analyzes and consider other costly, but environmentally friendly alternatives
16. Species. Do not move them out of their home.
17. Invaders. Do not release pets and pets. They can be invasive species.
18. Chemical products. Minimize the use of chemical compounds such as antibiotics, fertilizers ... and aerosols.
19. Educate children in the value of the goods offered by ecosystems.
20. Governments. Demand long-term sustainable management of natural resources.

PLANET I WANT YOU GREEN!
Follow me: @jsabino
Excellent subject friend, let's take a minute and think about all the animals and the immense vegetation that we have lost due to the lack of conscience of the human being? we must love our planet, it is incredible to believe and know that it is the most wonderful gift that our creator has given us!
beautiful congratulations and thank you! You have my vote @jsabino
