In the last decades many efforts and suggestions have been made to overcome the rises of the earth temperature. However, the earth temperature and the CO2 emission are higher than any time before. In this report I will write about a group of solution that can be applied without any affect to the economical growth.
The industrialization growth and the life style are required high source of energy. Therefore, the dependence on fossil fuel has been increased in last decades. That leaded to more CO2 to be emitted to the atmosphere which cases to trap more heat and rises the earth temperature. The real impact of the earth warming are floods, volcanoes and ice melting which are leading people to be homeless. Moreover, shortages in the drinking water will be acquired (Solution to Global Warming).
The alternative powers like wind, solar and nuclear cane take a place in reducing this dependence on such fuel. However, they show more problem than they solves. Moreover, these types of energies are expensive and we have to find a solution that goes hand to hand with the economic growth (Solution To Global Warming).
Carbon Offsetting is a principal that Kyoto Protocol is based on. Carbon Offsetting means if a factory is producing 100 tons of CO2 each year, they have to offset this pollution by investing in green projects or buying carbon credit equivalent to 100 tons of CO2. The good thing in offsetting is that the carbon emission can be balanced and maintained. If we progress more, the carbon level could be decreased. Moreover, offsetting does not have to be in the same place where is the carbon is emitted, it can be where it is financially cheaper, so nation like Asia and Africa are bigger gainer by growing their economy and reduce their own carbon emission by hosting such project (Solution To Global Warming).
Stimulate phytoplankton bloom is another solution to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Many researchers have been done by A German research ship and the national oceanography center in the Southern Ocean to see the impact of iron fertilization on the blooms of plankton. This done by releasing tones of iron sulphate over the sea water. The result they came up with is plankton bloom that form on the sea level can absorb carbon dioxide from the sea water and the atmosphere. Some scientists believe this can boost a natural carbon where it stored for a long time in the seafloor sediment ( Connor, 2009).
The Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen has suggested to inject sulphate particles into the atmosphere. This partial act as a reflective surface for incoming sunlight, producing a cooling effect to the earth. What make it true is in 1991 the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, on Luzon Island in Philippine released amount of suphate particles into the global atmosphere which causes the earth temperate to be cooled by 0.5C0.However, the side effect of sulphate injection is acid rain ( Connor, 2009).
The most practical solution for the global warming is pumping the CO2 into the earth. The basic science of CO2 is well established so called flue gas. Pollutants that come from smokestacks are gathered in a cylindrical column and react with a chemical that bind the CO2 in a stable mixture at normal temperature. The pure CO2 gas is then produced by heating the mixture .Compressed CO2 gas is used in the oil industry to force the oil out of declining field. in this process the CO2 will be stored safely and cleanly. Moreover, CO2 gas is sprayed on stored grain as a natural pesticide (Turner, 2002).

In my opinion, I think that the best solution to slow down the process of global warming is to pump CO2 into the earth. I choose this solution because it’s the most realistic solution among the others. In addition, this solution is already applied in the field of oil. Although the number of suggestions and solutions for the problem of global warming, initiative from the government needs to be provided.
