Global Warming Warning


Global warming is becoming a serious problem in the world today. If you arent aware of the issues that are happening you should see Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth." Littering, air poloution and the amount of carbon dioxide in the air are all contributing to the effects of global warming on the earth. Every year temperatures around the globe are warming due to the buring of fossil fules, coal, gas and oil. There are majior effects of global warming that are dramatically increasing. The number of severe storms and droughts are higher than ever and glaciers around the world are melting leaving polar bears homeless. So what do we do now to help decrease these effects of global warming? Recycling, finding other forms of fules and being more aware of what is happening can all help.

If nothing changes the Arctic ocean could be ice free in summer by the year 2050. In that same year more than one million species could be extinct. Most people think they are not personally getting influenced by this but with the melting of glaciers the ocean will rise more than 20 feet in a matter of years, which would destroy coastal cities and towns.
