Kapanlagi.com - The impact of global warming is currently felt so strongly for human life and nature. The cause of global warming itself mostly occurs due to human activities that are rarely realized. As a result, not only climate change is experienced but also other impacts including the greenhouse effect.
Global warming is also known as global warming, which has a direct impact on life on earth. Global warming can occur due to drastic changes in climate and weather. The cause of global warming can occur due to human activities in their daily lives.
Take for example factory waste, illegal logging, wasteful use of electricity and fuel, or the greenhouse effect. This condition causes changes in the earth's climate with increasing temperatures causing extraordinary heat. It cannot be underestimated, the impact of global warming has a significant effect on human life.
Among the impacts of global warming are unpredictable weather, potential extinction of animals, vulnerability to diseases, rising sea levels, and so on.
According to public.wmo.int, climate change is increasing year by year. Even the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says that the cause of climate change is strongly suspected to be due to human activities. That's why it is important to understand the causes of global warming due to human activities so that it can be realized as early as possible.
The causes of global warming are summarized in several points below. For more details, please refer to the causes of global warming compiled by kapanlagi.com from various sources.
1. Illegal Logging

The first cause of global warming due to human activities can occur due to illegal logging. This condition causes important trees and green plants that regulate the climate and oxygen on Earth to decrease. As a result, climate change, in this case global warming, becomes a negative impact of illegal logging activities.
Without forests as green land on Earth, temperature increase can occur because forests are important for absorbing carbon dioxide and converting it into oxygen. As a result, if forests decrease and narrow, the carbon dioxide can be released back into the atmosphere as CO2, causing global warming as reported by wwf.org.au.
2. Excessive Tissue Usage
The next cause of global warming due to human activities is excessive tissue usage. Although it may sound simple, who would have thought that the habit of using too much tissue could potentially cause global warming. As reported by liputan6.com, tissues are made from the fiber of trees that go through several processes to become tissue or paper.
In this case, the more tissues are used, the more tissue production from trees will be carried out. So it is not impossible that trees in the forest will become increasingly depleted to produce tissue. As a result, just like the previous discussion, the forest becomes narrower and can cause global warming.
3. Factory Gas

The next cause of global warming is the effect of factory gas. As it is known, construction is increasing with various industrial activities also increasing. Air pollution caused by factory gas or industrial activities is one of the effects that affect the environment, including the Earth's climate.
As reported by liputan6.com, some factory gases released due to industrial activities include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and methane gas. If the storage of gas from these factories is not properly managed, it can potentially contribute to global warming.
4. Greenhouse Effect

The cause of global warming due to human activities can occur due to the greenhouse effect. This term is certainly quite familiar and is one of the main causes of global warming. As is known, the greenhouse effect can occur due to human activities with various activities.
Take, for example, industrial activities, excessive use of fuel, electricity wastage, motor vehicle pollution, and others that can potentially cause the greenhouse effect. Some gases that can cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and CFCs.
5. Excessive Use of CFCs
According to liputan6.com, CFCs are chemicals that are often used in a number of household appliances. These CFCs contain several substances such as carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. However, excessive use of CFCs can potentially cause global warming due to damage to the ozone layer. The use of CFCs is usually found in daily activities such as air conditioning and refrigerators.
6. Excessive Electricity Usage
The cause of global warming due to human activities can also occur due to excessive electricity usage. As it is known, almost all human activities are supported by electricity. Unfortunately, many are not aware that excessive electricity usage can potentially contribute to global warming.
It is known that electricity can increase the production of carbon dioxide gas in the earth, which can trigger ozone layer depletion. Therefore, awareness of the importance of using electricity in moderation should be instilled as early as possible.
7. Plastic Waste

In addition to electricity, excessive or uncontrolled use of plastic can cause global warming. Plastic is one of the materials that is difficult to decompose in the earth, causing environmental pollution.
According to liputan6.com, based on research, plastic releases methane and ethylene gases when exposed to sunlight, which can contribute to global warming. It is not surprising that there is a renewed movement to reduce the use of plastic in daily activities.
8. The Use of Vehicle Fuels

The cause of global warming due to human activities can be triggered by the use of vehicle fuels that cause air pollution. For example, gasoline as the main fuel for cars and motorcycles that triggers air pollution by producing carbon dioxide gas.
It is known that this carbon dioxide gas will remain trapped in the earth, causing an increase in temperature. Not only affecting climate change, pollution from vehicle fuels can also affect human health.
9. Ways to Prevent Global Warming

After understanding the causes of global warming due to human activities, it is important to know how to prevent global warming. The ways to prevent global warming are as follows:
- Save electricity usage for daily activities.
- Reduce the use of CFCs, especially in air conditioning.
- Plant trees.
- Reduce the use of plastic and switch to environmentally friendly products.
Those are the 8 causes of global warming due to human activities that should be realized as early as possible. Because the impacts of global warming are not to be taken lightly as they affect every living creature on earth, including humans, plants, and animals.
