2. Manufacturing Goods: Manufacturing goods also causes global warming because manufacturing produce emissions. Again, because of burning fossil fuels to produce energy like cement, iron, steel, and other goods. Mining can also release greenhouse gases because of coal-bed methane that is released when coal mining.  

3. Deforestation: Cutting down forests, or deforestation, can increase global warming because much of the carbon that's stored by trees is released again in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. It causes forest loss and damage around 10% of global warming. 

4. The use of transportation: Using transportation contributes to global warming. It releases carbon dioxide that makes up to 95% of all transportations that are related to greenhouse emissions. Examples: Cars, SUV's, pickup trucks, etc. Again, They come from burning fossil fuels for our transportations. 94% of fuel used for transportation is based on petroleum. Petroleum, or you can call it crude oil, is a fossil fuel. It also includes gasoline and diesel. 

Solutions:

Now that we've learned about the causes and impacts, let's learn about the solutions so we can stop global warming.

1. Saving energy: Our electricity and heat is powered by coal, oil and gas. We can use less energy by lowering your cooling or heating, washing your laundry with water or hanging clothes to dry them instead of using a dryer. Using LED light bulbs and energy-efficient electric stuff. 

2. Walking, cycling, or public transport: People are using vehicles and most of them use diesel or petrol. To help with global warming, walking or riding a bike will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will also help with your health and fitness. You can also consider taking a train or a bus for longer distances. Or maybe a carpool whenever it's possible.

3. Reduce, reuse, recycle: The 3R's, also known as reduce, reuse, and recycle can help us to stop global warming. We can reduce products by using reusable stuff, for example: using reusable bottle or cup for beverages on the go, using reusable grocery bags and not just for groceries. Reusing by using a reusable shopping bag, or re-use wrapping paper or gift bags. Donating items that are still in good and usable condition to charity. Recycle can help us too. Cardboard and plastic containers can be repurposed. We can use empty plastic bottles to plant flowers at home. Remove the bottle caps from recyclable bottles so they wouldn't break or jam in processing machines.
