Global warming is a term used for the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system and its related effect. Global warming has become a major issue in the world that needs to be confronted because global warming has many impacts such as extreme and unpredictable climate change and can cause natural disasters such as floods, droughts, tornadoes, and also disturb the habitat of flora and fauna.
Global warming is mainly caused by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs). There are several factors in increasing greenhouse gas emissions, namely the greenhouse effect, feedback effect, energy, and also forest damage. Speaking of forest destruction, forests are a very important aspect for living things. Forests are the lungs of the world that certainly play a role in the circulation of air on earth through the absorption of carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Forest destruction contributes to 25% of the total increase in CO2 emissions and certainly has an impact on increasing global warming. Therefore, various efforts are needed to overcome this and prevent global warming.
To celebrate Earth Day in 2021, SCORP CIMSA FK Unila held DIMSUM “Dare to Fight Global Warming and Save The Earth for Human Life”. This activity aims to increase public knowledge and awareness about global warming issues that delivered on webinar and talk show. In addition, this activity also aims to invite the community to care more about the environment by planting trees
Because of the pandemic, this activity was held online on April 10-24th , 2021. The activity began with the challenge of planting trees as a form of global warming prevention efforts on April 10-19th , 2021. Next, there was air campaign to celebrate Earth Day 2021 through video compilation of planting trees challenge and was uploaded on instagram @cimsaunila. And the activity was closed by webinar and talk show via zoom meeting that held on April 24th , 2021. The webinar was delivered by Andi Pananrang as community officer of #sayapilihbumi with the topic “Global warming and Its Impact”. While the talk show was delivered by Stanislaus Risadi Apresian, PhD Candidate in Politics and International Studies, University of Leeds, with the topic “How to Prevent Global Warming”.
The topic is very important, yet less popular in the public. The Earth is the home of human beings and other organism and it should always be maintained and preserved. If the earth is not well preserved, then we will feel the impacts. Therefore, let’s take care of our earth, prevent global warming, and save our future. #RestoreThePlanet #SaveOurFuture
