The ever changing debate, Global Warming.
It is happening?
Global warming is a debate that we all have been having since Al Gore really started publicly speaking on the issue. It is something that most of us ignore, but it is happening around us whether we acknowledge it or not.
According to NASA, from 1906 to 2005, the rate of temperature increase has doubled. This is not normal. It is normal for Earth to have her normal hot and cold cycles. But for the last 250 years, humanity has sped up the warming of Earth.
Cutting down most of our forests and trees all over the world, it is taking away our filters for all the decay and waste we are putting into the Earth. With all the fossil fuels being burned for energy, food, and our modern lives, we are in fact killing our planet.
By burning our fossil fuels, we are adding more carbon dioxide and chemicals into our atmosphere. The molecules in the atmosphere absorb the carbon and heat up. This is a normal process, but the amount of carbon being outputted into the atmosphere is not. It is affecting all of us, every creature on the planet.
The polar ice caps are melting at a alarming rate. It is affecting the wildlife that lives there, making food and shelter scarce. Polar bears and other arctic animals are suffering because their habitat is being destroyed because of the ice caps melting.
I've just touched the surface of what global warming really is, it is a huge problem that we all face, even if we choose to ignore it. If we as a whole, do not change how we live, like by finding new ways to create energy, we will kill the Earth we all love.
