Global Warming: Sea Level Solutions

Global warming poses significant threats, particularly through rising sea levels that lead to land loss and flooding of homes. Solutions include reducing individual carbon footprints to mitigate environmental impacts and constructing flood defenses like dikes and dams to protect vulnerable areas. The essay emphasizes the urgency of addressing these challenges to prevent widespread displacement and loss of land.

Problem Solution Sample Essay (cont’)

Global warming is one of the biggest threats humans face in the 21st Century,
and sea levels continue to rise at alarming rates.
What problems are associated with this, and what are some possible
solutions?
Introduction:
Climate change is among the principal dangers facing people this century,
and ocean levels are increasing dramatically. This essay will first suggest
that the biggest problems caused by this phenomenon are the loss of land
and the flooding of homes and then argue that pollution reduction and
building flood protection are the most viable solutions

Body paragraph 1:

The foremost problems caused by climbing sea levels are that land is being
lost and people’s residences are often flooded. As water levels rise, low-lying
land is submerged, and many countries become smaller. Furthermore,
millions of people worldwide live in coastal areas, and if the sea rises by even
a few feet, they are inundated with water and lose their property. This
devastation was clear for all to see during the 2011 Tsunami in Japan, in
which millions of people were displaced.
Solutions Paragraph
Our solutions paragraph will have this structure:
Sentence 1- State solutions
Sentence 2- Explain solution to first problem
Sentence 3- Explain solution to second problem
Sentence 4- Example of solution to second problem
Explain first solution: If each person reduces their carbon footprint, the negative
effects on the environment will be reduced, which will mean that the water level
will stop rising.
Explain second solution: Furthermore, flood defences, such as dikes, dams, and
floodgates, could be built along coasts and waterways, thereby stopping the water
from reaching populated areas.
Example: The Netherlands is one of the most populated areas in the world and one
of the most vulnerable to flooding. They have successfully employed various flood
defence systems.
To conclude, stemming the rising tides caused by increasing global
temperatures is one of the foremost challenges we face, and it will ultimately
lead to some countries losing landmass and many of the world’s cities being
left underwater, but possible solutions could be to protect our environment
and to utilise the flood prevention techniques already used by countries like
Holland.

PRACTICE TASK
People living in large cities today face many problems in their everyday life.
What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to
smaller regional towns?”
