20 October 2014 Global Warming is real! Global warming has been a massive controversial theory that has been researched and calculated for years. An abundance of people do not know that their lives have been impacted by global warming. These researchers have been collecting data for years and years proving its existence. Many scientist and intellectual figures may say that in fact global warming is real; many other scientist and intellectual figures may agree with each other that it’s a joke and hoax, they have been arguing over this topic very seriously, although I believe that we should halt the questioning and should focus on how we can take action and help our environment.
Researchers believe that global warming is real concluding that hotter temperatures, ozone thinning and natural disasters are effects of this situation. People may notice that temperatures have been increasing over the years. The United States Environmental Protection Agency had stated “According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the temperature in the U.S. has increased by 2 degrees in the last 50 years and precipitation by 5%.” This was a fact from researchers that proved that the United States had been affected by global warming resulting in temperature increase. If this becomes a trend in the future years, global warming will effect people at greater temperatures and it may be unpleasant. The ozone has been another Haller 2 effect of global warming. Our ozone layer has been thinning, which kills the substance in the air that save us from the heat and dangerous toxins from the sun. The United States Energy Information Administration stated “The hole in the ozone layer in the earth’s upper atmosphere (stratosphere) reduces the greenhouse effect because ozone is a greenhouse gas.” This exposes us to more heat, with more heat; glaciers are melting and increase the body mass in water.
