Conclusion



In conclusion, the phenomenon of global warming should be taken seriously by all parties to ensure the physical and human environment are not affected by this deck as a result of global warming. Thus, various incentives have to be taken by the authorities include non government organization, and government and individuals to enhance their ownself-awareness about the factors that lead to global warming as outlined above. Accordingly, the factor of global warming not only affect the people and the environment,even in economic terms at all. Thus, the community and all parties should be sensitive to each of their actions that could lead to this global phenomenon in order to avoid a more severe  negative impact and  to ensure the prosperity of this land remains for the next generations.

Precautions Should Be Taken


One of the causes of global warming is the use of less environmentally friendly energy such as diesel oil consumption and much more. Through the use of environmentally friendly energy such as solar, biomass, biofuels and others. For Example in Malaysia the government has intensified research on the use of biofuels  the vehicles in Malaysia. Besides, the creation of hybrid cars by the world’s major car companies like Toyota and Ford. In addition, the government intended to use hydroelectric power to supply electricity to the entire population of the country smart. For example, the largest dam construction on the dam at Bakun, Sarawak is able to supply electricity to Peninsular and Bornoe. The use of solar panels can reduce the greenhouse effect. Japan is among countries that use solar panel to supply electricity.  

The operation that can be done by the community effort to reduce the problem of global warming is changing the attitude to be more concerned about the environment. For example the use of bicycle or public transport to get work or school. Use a more friendly light as LED ( Light Emitting Diode ) light. For example in Portland, United States. LED light have been used in signal lights around Portland.This can be reduce the problem of global warming. In Malaysia, several attempts have been to reduce the global warming as a campaign to reduce plastic bags use by NGOs, the public and the construction of a systematic public transport system such as light Rail Transit ( LRT ) and so fourth. Recent government plans to build a mass Rail Transit (MRT). This is intended to encourage use of public transport. This shows the government’s efforts to cooperate with the people in reducing the problem of global warming ( Johanson, 2006 ) .



Effects of Global Warming


Global Warming will affect human through our food,water supplies and health conditions.The sudden change in climate patterns are dangerous to human body which won’t be able to endure the extreme conditions,a hint of which can be seen in the form of frequent heat waves and cold waves.


 Many people will die because of lack of food production due to frequent drought and floods phenomenon.For instance,the increase of ocean waters level will affect fisherman survival.The extremely temperature also cause human’s health problems such as asthma,fever,dry skin and respitory systems problem.This situation lead to increases of dealth rates,particularly among the child,adult,very old people and the poorer can double or triple during the days of unusually high temperatures and humidity.Similarly,The global warming also affect our environment.Forests are an important of global resorce,it can providing wildlife habitat,fresh air and water and aesthetic values.The green forest also importance for animals to make photosynthesis process through the sunlight.However,the deforestation activity will affect to flora and fauna and they will be destroyed.The living things will lose their shelter due to the cutting down of trees.As a result,many animals and plants are extinction.Therefore we should find measures to preserve our trees from any illegal activities and keep healthy of our environment.

Causes of global warming




Nowadays the issue of the global warming has more popular that we could find from any sources since the past few years. As we know from the general information, global warming occurs when our temperature environment increase affected from greenhouse. However the human are still not aware about this current issue. They might be thinking that it is a small matter problem. As result without efforts to find the solution it could be destroy our environment.

There are various causes why the global warming is happen in Malaysia? Based on our views, the main causes are human activities. Several these kind activities are still non stop especially cutting down the main forests. They want to get the profit without thinking the effect on earth. Furthermore, when all the rain forests are cutting down the temperature become hot. It is because the sunlight of radiation on earth surface. In the same way, the greenhouse will affect for environment.



On the other hand, burning fossil also the causes of global warming. When the fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal are burned, all these substances are changing to carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide it could give worse for earth. In addition, forests are very important role in the cycle of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Acid rain also the problem causes for this phenomenon. When acid rain is running it could causes the building especially at the wall will started erode. It is very dangerous for the people who live in the building. The lands also become acid when the acid rain is running and the plants will die effect from acid rain. If the human aware about this phenomenon our environment will not destroy from this causes of global warming. The government should be taken this issue more seriously so that our environment is safe from humankind.

Literature Review


 The global warming began in 1970s, when the Tun Hussien Onn become Prime Minister at Malaysia. When he took legacy from Tunku Abdul Razak to spread Felda more huge projects enabled terrace plantation to be done. In contrast when Tun Dr Mahathir became Prime Minister, he innovated Malaysia to become a developing country. Tun Dr.Mathathir emphasized the industrial sector. The country's temperature rose more than average. Deforestation affects to the green house due to development and industrial sectors.


Activities to increase global warming may affect Earth's temperature to human health. According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), climate change that has occurred since the 1970's has led to 150 thousand deaths per year due to the increased incidence of disease. Viruses, bacteria and bacterial disease is said to be more widespread. In the past, influenza disease can only be attacked when the cold season (four seasons in the country) or in the rainy season (in the tropical country), but now began to attack regardless of the season

According to Fredolin Tangang@Tajudin Mahmud he interpreted global warming in the different way, which is he said global warming occurred by the human crime activities that related to environment such as the increases green house gases 
( CO2,NH4, N20) concentration and alter the earth’s atmospheric compositions and earth’s heat budget. Furthermore he also explained about a small amount of the heat energy emitted from the surface passes through the atmosphere directly to space. Most is absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules and contributes to the energy radiated back down to warm the surface and lower atmosphere. Increasing the concentrations of greenhouses gases increases the warming of the surface and slows loss of energy to space  ( http // www.ocean.ukm)

Definition of the global warming

Global warming is a popular term used to a state the rise in average global temperature of the world due to the greenhouse effects.There is an increase in the volume of the water level due of the phenomenon
( Enzinemark.com : 2010 ) .


In the same way,while Silver Jerry said based on his research which the global warming can be defined as a condition of increased environmental temperature higher than normal temperature.Our the last hundred years, the earth average temperature has increased about three quarters of a degree centigrade (1.3 " F).In contrast, global warming is defined as occuring by the nature and mankind activities such as deforestating, burn of fossil, emmision of CFC and carbon dioxide from the industries.In the short form, the temperature will rise worsely for our environment
