The world, Our world! The world that no one seems to care about anymore. The world that thinks global warming is just a joke, the world that under estimates the power of mother earth. Today i,m gonna try and convince you! To make a stand against global warming, one of the most serious global issues affecting the entire world. For a start i,ll tell you what causes global warming. Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which acts as a blanket, trapping the heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal and oil for energy or cut down and burn forests to create cow paddocks and plantations, carbon gets accumulated and overloads our atmosphere. Studies have shown that the planets temperature has risen 0.6 of a degree Celsius over the last century. The United Nations panel on climate change projects that the global temperatures will rise 3-6 degrees Celsius by the century’s end – enough to have the polar ice caps melted. If the ice caps melt, a large majority of our countries borders will be under water. Monuments and great buildings, as well as homes and lives will be under water, including New York City.

So now you have learned of global warming and its consequences of this issue, You might ask, what can i do about it? Well lucky for you helping the world is easy, you can start off with doing simple things like instead of driving the short distance to town, get up off your couch and walk there.Cars emit a lot of carbon dioxide which has a huge negative effect on global warming.

Things like going into your backyard and planting a hardworking tree that helps to stop global warming by sucking up carbon dioxide from the air and replacing it with oxygen.And on the same topic, you could protest logging industries. And stop them cutting down the trees that make our oxygen ,to make houses and furniture.

Another thing to do to help stop climate change is to whenever possible, buy your food from local suppliers or that are grown in your home country, so that big jet planes and trucks having to drive for miles and miles while emitting high amounts of carbon dioxide.

And finally the simplest things, just turning off any unused appliances like televisions computers lights and heaters can not only help the planet but help you save money aswell.

Now that you have learn t all about global warming and how to help reduce it. I hope you will take into consideration what i have said, and do your part in stopping global warming.
