Global Warming and Why It Should Be Stopped!




Global Warming is a big issue in our world today. It’s not only occurring in the United States, but around the entire world as well. The reason why our polar ice caps are currently melting is because of the carelessness of the human race.


If people didn’t emit so much carbon dioxide from cars and factories into the atmosphere the hole in the ozone layer (which is supposed to protect the world!) wouldn’t be getting bigger and turning the planet into a large oven so to speak.


The more carbon dioxide and toxic chemicals are emitted, the hotter it’s going to get every year. The more the polar ice caps are going to melt and very soon capital cities like New York are going to be underwater. Unless something is done about this issue, sea levels could rise between 7 and 23 inches by. More than a million species in the world will face extinction. Natural disasters will become common in many parts of the world. There will also be a short ice age in Western Europe because the ocean's circulation system will become altered. All of this will occur by the end of this century if something is not done about this issue soon.

Fortunately many simple things can be done to stop this issue. People can drive fuel efficient cars. People can by florescent light bulbs. People don’t have to leave chargers connected to electrical outlets if not used. Al of these simple solutions can help the environment and can also help save money.
