Global Warming The Earth is a home to millions of species. Yet humans dominate the globe.The human development has gone far over its limit creating many alarming issues. One such issue is global warming.Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth. It is a result of our ignorance to the environment. There is no doubt global warming is manmade.How does global warming occur? The sun emits rays that give light and heat to the earth. The greenhouse gases trap some of the heat regulating the earth’s temperature. However because of emissions of more greenhouse gases such as CO2, the atmosphere thickens hence trapping more heat. This creates a lot of unwanted effects and is a global problem.

This is a global problem not only because it affects humankind but because it affects all that endures in between cruel humans including trees and wildlife. If it affects our globe it affects us because we are a part of the globe. As the climate grows warmer, evaporation will increase due to warmer oceans. This will cause heavier rainfall, with more erosion. This erosion can turn forests into deserts. Some species which cannot adapt to the change will be wiped out.

The heat will melt glaciers causing landslides and glacial lake overflow. After the melting of the glaciers, the poles will become twice the average temperatures of the rest of the Earth making the Polar Regions unsuitable to live in. Extreme weather events such as storms will occur. The combined effects of global warming may impact particularly harshly on people and countries without the resources to combat those effects. This may slow down economic development and poverty reduction. Global warming needs to be stopped before it causes disasters. Some of the steps to combat global warming are to use alternative sources of energy such as solar energy especially in transportation. This will greatly reduce the amount of carbon-dioxide emitted. Other steps could include afforestation (planting of trees) to help convert CO2 into oxygen. Capture and storage of CO2 emitted and then converting it into oxygen will reduce Global warming greatly. The government can implement carbon tax to make people cautious of CO2 emissions. It is our hands whether to preserve the earth or to destroy it. We need to act quickly before it is too late. This problem is enormous, so we must fix it quickly, using words and thoughts and deeds. Global warming needs to be stopped before it is uncontrollable. We are responsible for the extinction of millions of species. Will we be the cause of our own extinction?

Stop Global Warming NO!!!
