Global Warming is a Problem and We Are at Fault The Earth’s atmosphere has gone up in temperature one full degree in the last year. By emitting an average of 70 million tons of pure pollution into the ozone layer, the Earth has been getting hotter at an increasing rate. The ozone layer is the only layer of protection we have against the sun’s powerful rays, and if we keep damaging it like we have been over the years, our planet will burn. All the blame for this commotion should go to humans because of our factories and landfills. People are the most significant cause of global warming and now, because of us humans, the fate of the world rests on our shoulders. Global warming is a worldwide problem. All the fault of this problem goes to humans, in fact, according to Chris Mooney's article “The planet had it’s hottest four years in recorded history, U.S. scientists say” he states “The Trump Administration released a major federal report in November that said the current changes in the climate are caused almost entirely by human activity.” He explains how because of human activity the Earth has experienced the hottest years of its existence. Later in his article he also explains how the atmosphere will likely never get temperatures as cool as 2014 again. This is a terrible tragedy that unfortunately cannot be reversed, and it is all due to human activity. This fact is true and we all know it, for example, according to Seth Borenstien’s article “Global warming cook’s up a different world over 3 decades,” he stated “But when you look at the globe as a whole, especially since 1970, nearly all the warming is man-made.” Seth agrees that people are the main cause of global warming and climate change. This is a real problem that, because of us humans can never be reversed. Furthermore, this problem has been going on for way to long. We have gotten to the point where there is no turning back. We are stuck in a hole but just keep digging. We have brought up the temperature so much that it is obvious. Seth Borenstien also included in his article that “...the world’s annual temperature has warmed nearly one degree.” That is a big difference considering how since before humans created factories and landfills, the temperature was at a steady rate. The Earth is in a crisis, yet we continue to build, build, and build. Humans have caused so much damage to the environment, and the atmosphere. No other species can (even if they tried), could harm the globe as much as we do. Many trusted sources agree that the earth will never be the same, for example according to Chris Mooney’s article “The planet has had its hottest four years in recorded history, U.S. scientists say.” it states “It’s unlikely we’ll ever see temperatures as cool as we had back before 2014 again said climatologist Zeke Hausfather.” He is one of the credible sources that agree on the fact that the earth can never be the same. On the other hand, people who believe that global warming is not a problem believed that the world was meant to get hotter and that humans have nothing to do with it. They don’t think that humans are the main cause of global warming. For example According to “The sea is rising but not because of climate change” Fred Singer states “Sea level rise is not affected by the warming; it continues at the same rate, 1.8 millimeters a year.” He explains how because sea level rise has stayed at a constant rate, that climate change also has. And after doing some more research, he started to think that climate change was natural and is supposed to happen. This is not true considering that many other trustworthy sources state that the earth’s temperature has been rising at an increasing rate, not staying the same. Other people also believe that humans are doing everything in their power to stop climate change. For instance according to The Oracle, SUNY College at New Paltz, New Paltz NY “Confronting Climate Change:  Researcher-Cum-Activist Speaks Out Against Climate Change” the article stated “Finally, she displayed photos of New Yorkers who have protested proposed oil storage infrastructure and pipelines, including groups of women, doctors and veterans. ‘These are some examples of the standing rocks of New York,’ she said. ‘There are standing rocks going on all over.’” She explains how people protested against use of oil. But think about it, how did they get there? What exactly was it that they had to put in their car to make it start? That is correct, they used the exact same thing that they are protesting against. So, in conclusion, no matter how much we protest, we still can not get away from harming the environment. Like I stated before, we are in a hole but just keep digging. Speaking of getting deeper, Fred Singer’s article just did not add up. Global warming is a real problem that needs a very real solution. Although we humans know about this warming, we still keep polluting the globe. So now the world is at its breaking point and it needs help. And unfortunately this crisis is in our hands.
