Contribution of Renewable Energy in Mitigation of Global Warming Caused by Fossil Fuel

Abstract

The temperature of the earth is gradually increasing threatens the existence of the planet. Emissions of green house gases (GHG) are mainly responsible for that damage. Concentration of GHG in the atmosphere which lasts for a long time generated from fossil fuel (oil, gas, coal) burning causes global warming put the world to rethink of the future energy solutions. The excessive uses of fossil fuel due to competitive economic growth among the nation’s releases GHG beyond to consume by the atmosphere warms the earth that have many adverse effects to the environment and ultimately creating the world vulnerable. The alternative source of energy that is the renewable energy can contribute huge to reduce this GHG emission and solve the energy crisis simultaneously. This paper is focusing on how the uses of traditional energy warm the globe and in addition gives an overview of the renewable energy that will mitigate the warming.
