Global Warming
Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system. It is a major aspect of climate change, and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. Global surface temperature increased 0.85 °C (1.53 °F) between 1880 and 2012, according to NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies; other estimates range from 0.65–1°C (1–2°F). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that human activities have caused most of the observed global warming since 1950.
The cryptocurrency industry plays an important role in helping reduce emissions associated with global warming through its ability to facilitate rapid transactions at low cost while reducing energy costs associated with traditional payment systems such as credit cards or wire transfer services which require large amounts of electricity to process payments securely over long distances. Cryptocurrency also allows individuals to send money worldwide without having to worry about exchange rates or bank fees, making it a more affordable option than traditional remittance services for people living abroad who are sending money back home. Additionally, cryptocurrencies can be used as an alternative asset class for investors looking to diversify their portfolio into something less volatile than stocks or bonds due to its decentralized nature and lack of correlation with other assets classes like fiat currencies or commodities such as gold or oil .
Finally, blockchain technology itself has potential applications related toward mitigating global warming; organizations from all corners are exploring how distributed ledger technology could automate carbon credits trading markets and enable governments worldwide track down illegal deforestation activities across borders faster than ever before – saving precious forests that play a critical role in removing CO2 from our atmosphere naturally through photosynthesis processes!
