Global Warming
Global warming is something that I believe needs to be improved on. Climate change is hitting us hard. Global warming is severely effective to us and how we live. Also, it is something that more than one person can take action to help improve. Climate change is happening now. Over the past century, the actions that humans have caused the climate to change over the years. The gases such as carbon dioxide is being released in the air acting as a blanket trapping the energy and allows it to become warmer. Our lives are connected to the climate. A warming climate will bring changes that can affect our water supplies, agriculture, power, and transportation systems, the natural environment, and even our own health and safety. Carbon dioxide can remain in the atmosphere for nearly a century. This means the earth will continue to become warmer and warmer by the century. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases always have been present in the atmosphere, keeping the earth hospitable to life by trapping heat. Yet, since the industrial revolution, emissions of these gases from human activity have accumulated steadily, trapping more heat and giving out the natural greenhouse effect. As a result, global average temperatures have risen both on land and in the oceans, with huge impacts already occurring that increasingly severe changes in the future. Polar ice is melting. Glaciers around the globe are in retreat. Storms are increasing in intensity. Ecosystems around the world already are reacting, as plant and animal species struggle to adapt to a shifting climate, and new climate-related threats emerge.
Global warming is effective to us and our lives. It is very harmful to our health. Climate change is one of the most serious public health threats facing us today. Few people are aware of how it can affect them. Children, the elderly, and communities living in poverty are most seriously in danger.
