Ngaba wakha wacinga ukuba kutheni ezinye iintsuku uziva ushushu ngakumbi kunezo ootatomkhulu bakho bakhumbula ngazo? Kutheni imozulu ibonakala ngathi ayifani? Ewe inkcazo inokuthi ilale ngaphezu kwethu ingabonakali kodwa ibe nefuthe; Igesi yendlu eluhlaza. EYurophu njengakwiindawo ezithile zehlabathi ezi gesi ziye zaba yinkxalabo engxamisekileyo. Makhe siphonononge izizathu ezibangela ukubaluleka kwazo.
Yintoni iigesi zegreenhouse? Khawube nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wemoto yakho ipakishwe kwingqatsini yelanga yaye zonke iifestile zayo zivalwe ngci. Iqondo lobushushu ngaphakathi linyuka ngaphezu kwangaphandle ilungelo? Kungenxa yokuba ubushushu belanga bubanjiswa ngaphakathi. Ngokomlinganiselo iigesi zegreenhouse zisebenza ngokufanayo. Zisebenza njengomaleko ojikeleze isijikelezi-langa sethu esibamba ubushushu kunye nokugcina ubushushu obulungele ukugcina ubomi.
Iigesi ze-greenhouse zixhaphakile ziquka i-carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) kunye ne-nitrous oxide (N2O). Ngelixa ezi gesi ngokwemvelo zikhona kwiatmosfera, izinto ezenziwa ngabantu ezinje ngokutshisa iifosili, ukuchithwa kwamahlathi kunye neenkqubo zoshishino ziye zawandisa kakhulu amanqanaba azo. Ngenxa yoko ubushushu obuninzi bugcinwa kwiatmosfera yethu okukhokelela kuMhlaba.
Ukukhutshwa kweGesi yeGreenhouse, eYurophu
IYurophu ibingummandla kangangexesha elithile, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ibivelisa ukukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse kangangeenkulungwane ezininzi. Nangona kunjalo ekuhambeni kwexesha iYurophu iye yaziqonda ngakumbi iimpembelelo ezi zinto zikhutshwayo kutshintsho lwemozulu.
IManyano yaseYurophu (i-EU) ebandakanya amazwe afana neJamani, iFransi ne-Italy yenze inkqubela ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo. Ukusukela ngo-1990 ukuya ku-2019 i-EU yehlise ngempumelelo ukukhutshwa kwayo ngama-24%. Ngaphandle kwale mpumelelo iYurophu isajongene nemiceli mngeni ekunciphiseni indawo yayo yegesi yobushushu.
Imeko yangoku; Ukuzibophelela kweYurophu kwikamva kubonakala ngamaphulo afana ne Isivumelwano seGreen yaseYurophu ejolise ekufikeleleni ukungathathi hlangothi kwemozulu ngaphakathi kwe-EU ngo-2050. Oku kubandakanya ukungongezwa kweegesi ze-greenhouse emoyeni kunokuba zinokufunxwa-ilizwe elibizwa ngokuba yi "zero" ekhutshwayo.
Amazwe aliqela aseYurophu akhokela ngomzekelo kulo mbandela. Umzekelo, iDenmark yenza imali enkulu kumandla omoya ngelixa iIceland isebenzisa amandla. Nangona kunjalo ukoyisa ukuthembela kwamazwekazi, kumalahle, i-oyile kunye negesi yendalo kuhlala kungumqobo.
Indima yamaCandelo ahlukeneyo: Amacandelo ahlukeneyo anegalelo ngokwahlukileyo kukukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse yaseYurophu.
Icandelo lezamandla, elibandakanya umbane kunye nokufudumeza kume njengegalelo, lilandelwa ngokusondeleyo kuthutho oluthembele kakhulu kumafutha. Ulimo nalo ludlala indima, kulo mba wemfuyo evelisa i-methane kunye nezichumisi ezikhupha i-oxide.
Ukujongana nala macandelo impembelelo IYurophu yenza utyalo-mali kwimithombo yamandla ekhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kwezithuthi zombane kunye nokukhuthaza iindlela zokulima ezizinzileyo. La manyathelo awanancedo kwimozulu. Kwakhona babe namandla okudala amathuba engqesho nokukhuthaza ukukhula koqoqosho.
Nangona kunjalo ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse kuza nesabelo sayo semingeni. Ifuna inguqu kwiindlela zethu zokuvelisa amandla, iindlela zokuhamba kunye neendlela zokulawula umhlaba. Ngelixa oku kunokubiza kwaye kuntsonkothile kukwabonisa namathuba okuqalisa izinto ezintsha kunye nokuqhubela phambili.
IYurophu ijongene nomsebenzi wokulinganisa ulungelelwaniso phakathi kokukhula kunye nokuzinza kokusingqongileyo. Olu lungelelwaniso lubalulekile ukugcina inkxaso yemigaqo-nkqubo njengoko utshintsho olukhawulezileyo lunokukhokelela kwisiphithiphithi sezentlalo nezoqoqosho.
Ukuqaphela ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu ludlula imida efana neegesi ze-greenhouse, intsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe iyafuneka. IYurophu isebenzisana ngenkuthalo nezizwe ngezivumelwano ezifana neParis Climate Accord kunye nenjongo ekwabelwanayo ngayo yokunciphisa ubushushu bube ngaphantsi kwe-2 degrees celcius, ngaphezu kwamanqanaba angaphambi koshishino.
IYurophu idlala indima, kuthethathethwano esebenza njengomzekelo weminye imimandla kunye nokwandisa inkxaso kumazwe asaphuhlayo kutshintsho lwawo lwemithombo yamandla acocekileyo.
Ukuqhubela phambili iYurophu inesikhokelo; ukuqhubeka nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse kunye nokusebenza kwikamva. Oku kuya kubandakanya utyalo-mali kubuchwepheshe be-eco, ukuphonononga kwakhona iinkqubo zothutho kunye nokutshintsha imikhwa yokusetyenziswa.
Wonke umntu waseYurophu unendima yakhe ekufuneka eyidlalile nokuba ngaba abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo bayila imithetho okanye abantu bakhetha ukuqhuba ibhayisekile. Ngumzamo sonke esinegalelo ekuvumeni ngokudibeneyo umngeni kodwa sikwaqonda umvuzo-iplanethi esempilweni, kumntu wonke.
Ukushwankathela iigesi zegreenhouse ngumbandela ogxile ekulawuleni ubushushu beplanethi yethu. IYurophu nelifa lemveli kunye nendlela yokucinga phambili ikwindlela yokunciphisa oku kukhutshwayo. Yindlela ephawulwe ngemiqobo. Kwakhona uzaliswe lithemba. Ngokuqonda indima ngamnye kuthi anokuyidlala sinokudibana. Qinisekisa ukuba iintsingiselo ezishushu zibhekisa kwifashoni kuphela kwaye zingabeki esichengeni iiplanethi zethu kwikamva.
