There are unlimited causes of global warming. Each cause has its affect on the environment. One of the unknown causes is tundra. Let's introduce the topic with the definition of tundra. Tundra is an area which contains vegetation and trees and snow on mountains. ( Benninghoff ) . It also contains animals, microorganisms, plants, shrubs, mosses, grasses and flowers. It is basically located in the north of regions. It has incredible damage that anyone can't believe. Tundra is melting and according to statistics, approximately 50 billion tons of carbon dioxide held in a frozen area in tundra and now it's becoming a source of global warming. (Global Warming: The Causes). The following details will explain the facts of tundra's main damage from climate change and the solutions that might be provided. .
Let's firstly start with the problems of tundra. When the frozen soil melts, the organic contents start to decay causing greenhouse gasses in the air. Tundra becomes an important part of accumulating CO2 in the air. Studies also show that warm temperatures have changed the place into a net of CO2 that penetrates atmosphere. The stranger matter is that the role of history says that Tundra was completely environmental but now things have changed to the opposite side (Global Warming). Another problem that carbon dioxide which comes from tundra will cause air pollution. That will definitely affect the animals whose living there and their foods. (Global Warming).One more problem is that buildings and roads push pressure to the area causing it to melt. (Global Warming)
After looking at the problem side, now let's turn our consideration to the solution side. Apparently a lot will think that there is nothing to do about it but here is the thing. The first solution is that we could protect tundra areas to reduce the human impact (Tundra Threat). Another solution is minimizing the roads and the mining in the area of tundra. One more solution is to reduce the tourism and to establish rules like respecting the local cultures. A significant solution is to turn to another energy that reduces the human-made global warming (Tundra Threats, Tundra Species - National Geographic). If we slow down the rate of carbon emissions, we will slow down the temperature increases that cause tundra to melt.
In my point of view, tundra is causing a big damage to the atmosphere. Well, according to statistics I have already mentioned, if this is just one source of global warming and it causes 50 billion tons of CO2, imagine the impact of other sources. I believe if this continues to happen, it will be a disaster in the upcoming years, leaving our generations with our problems.
