Global Warming is a major issue in our world today. In the long run global warming will have a greater effect on us than it has today. This is due to the greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide and all the pollution around us. This causes the atmosphere to warm up which is harming nature as well as us. Only in this century the atmosphere has seen an increase of about 0.74°C. Studies have shown and proven that by 2100, the globe will heat up by another 1.1°C to 6.4°C (Wikipedia.com).
Greenhouse gases are gases such as carbon dioxide, vapor, methane etc. which affect the atmosphere (eia.doe.gov) causing the Greenhouse effect which is the absorption of the sun’s radiation when it hits the Earth’s atmosphere which will cause the Earth to warm up slowly. This is not good for the Earth because with time all the ice in the poles would melt, causing the level of water to rise and making the average temperature everywhere increase.
Pollution is another factor to take into account that affects our world today. Pollution, whether it may be air, water, soil, radioactive (nonukes.org) or any other type, contaminates our environment, thus affecting the planet. The usage of gas in cars, the gases that are released into the air after something is burned, all these small things lead to pollution therefore global warming (Wikipedia.com).
We are supposed to take care of this planet, but we are not doing much. The little effort put into Recycling or other small things is not enough. We must make radical changes, especially with all the cars’ gas consumption or all the fuel smoke from industries that affect our environment. This must stop now! The rate of global warming is increasing rapidly and we must slow it down before it is too late. We must take action now and save our world.
