It is widely assumed that twentieth century becomes a turning point of global climate change. People’s behavior,  on this modern era, are rarely figuring out the impact of what they have done and it may cause climate change on Earth. This climate change could lead into several disaster on Earth. One of the disaster that may be happening is the rise of the global temperature which lead into the declining Arctic sea ice which makes the surface of sea level raising. To prevent this, the government and people can work together. The government can start with issuing a policy about limitation of cutting trees. Beside that, people should be efficient in using any energy, such like electricity, gasoline and etc. Moreover, the government and people should adopt a renewable energy in all sectors.

One way to prevent the effect of climate change is by limiting of cutting trees. We all know that forests are lungs of our Earth. According to a research, every year 33 million acres of forest are cut down and loose 1.5 billion of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. As we know carbon dioxide is Earth’s ozone (O³) main enemy. Improved agricultural practices by balancing the amount of wood taken out with the amount of new trees could decrease the chunk of emissions.  

Another way to prevent the effect of climate change is by being efficient in using energy. In a majority, more than 50% of power generator on Earth still use coal and 90% of vehicles use gasoline as its fuel. We know that coal and gasoline are part of fossil energy which always produce carbon dioxide (CO²) when it burnt. People can start being efficient in using energy by buying low energy home appliances or hybrid cars.

Another way to prevent the effect of climate change is by adopting a renewable energy. It is generally assumed that the most used energy comes from fossil emissions, not to mention renewable energy such like wind, solar and water. Fossil fuels formed from dead plants and animals more than 100 million years ago and it is highly contributed to energy on Earth. We know that every fossil fuels always produce carbon dioxide (CO²). This much differs if we compare it to a renewable energy which produce less or almost no exhaust gas to the atmosphere.
