global warming

Global Warming A common topic known worldwide as controversial and challenging is global warming. Many people do not know the cause and effect between man-made activities, practices, and behaviors that have contributed significantly to global warming. All nations should be required by law to curtail, modify, or stop such activity. A great difference in climate change will occur if people around the world became aware of their actions to achieve a more stable and safer environment. Scientists have spent many years trying to figure out what is causing global warming. They have looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. “The amount and pattern of warming that 's been measured can 't be explained by these factors alone.” Realizations of scientists have concluded that humans contribute to the earth’s temperature getting warmer. Greenhouse gases produce by humans, are responsible for global warming, most of which come from the combustion of fuels in cars, factories, and electricity production. Some of these gasses can trap more heat within the world then carbon dioxide (“Climate Hot Map”).
Carbon dioxide lives in the atmosphere for a long time, up to centuries, so its heat-trapping effects are accumulated over time. This type of gas can put the world at a great risk of catastrophic changes if it continues to accumulate unabated in the atmosphere. Land and ocean temperature is only one way to measure the effects of climate change. “A warming world also has the potential to change rainfall and snow patterns, increase droughts and severe storms; reduce lake ice cover, melt glaciers, increase sea levels, and change plant and animal behavior.” (“Climate Hot Map”).
When people litter, animals suffer. Many animals are injured, become ill, and die each year due to human carelessness with litter and pollution. Animals can swallow or get entangled in many of the litter items people leave in the environment. For example they can eat it
