Global Warming

We are on the verge of massive global climate change which will see a significant rise in sea levels, chaotic weather patterns, and catastrophic droughts all caused by small increase in global average temperature. The earth has been doing fine but now many countries are in the industrial age and are manufacturing things and releasing more greenhouse gasses. The earth is essentially being thrown out of its natural balance. We started doing harmful things and only now do we realize what we have done.

Global Warming needs to be stopped because it is infecting animals and sea life that we eat with parasites that come from the warmer sea temperatures. And it doesn’t stop there. Imagine that you are placed into the future. It is somewhere around 2050. You begin to live in this new world, but the planet is not the same any more. You hear about huge storms over much of the North America that cause severe damage. Many cities experience major flooding from the ocean level having risen so high. Thousands and thousands of people die each summer across the world as the temperature soars to 65° C for 2 weeks straight. No, this is not total fantasy. All of these events could really occur over less then half a century. All of them are results of one problem — Global Warming. It is a huge issue with many consequences. But even though we know that our future could lead to a global catastrophe, very often we change the subject and don’t want to talk and think about it. We all must be ashamed of it. In order to preserve the world clear and safer for our children we must take serious responsibilities for our acts. We must think first about our home, then about ourselves.
