Cause of Global Warming














Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants


There are many causes to global warming and the major one is the CO2 that is produced from power plants. I chose this specific cause because in my opinion, this is the reason why a lot of CO2 is produced and proves a lot of facts. Long time ago, there weren't any power plants which explains why scientists have proven the difference of the amount of CO2 used nowadays than in the past. The burning of fossil fuels are used for the purpose of electricity generation, therefore, the amount of CO2 produced these days outnumbers the amount that was used in the past. A lot of countries have power plants, so just imagine how much CO2 is being wasted. Every developing country does not use only one but many power plants and if this keeps going, then it will be a disaster. We cannot tell each country to stop using power plants because it is essential to have it. Instead, Countries need to have a limit to the number of power plants to have so we can at least have a limit to the amount of CO2 each country produces.
