Global Warming

Is having perfect hair and good enough reason to destroy the earth? The answer is definitely no. Research shows that humans are the primary cause of the rising temperatures and increasing sea levels over the century. Greenhouse gases are rising much more rapidly than expected and as a result the world is warming up as well. In the future, global warming will cause horrible effects such as heat waves, droughts, floods and storms. Due to these events some of the world’s poorest countries will suffer terribly by disrupting food production, important major animal species, and many habitats and ecosystems will be destroyed.
Even with all of this research, the government and businesses have barely responded and done nothing to stop global warming. “It is extremely likely that human influence on climate caused more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010,” the draft report says. There are multiple ways to slow down or stop global warming such as advocating a new international climate agreement, promoting energy efficiency, promoting renewable energy sources, preventing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, developing and promoting climate change adaptation strategies. Since there are so many ways to decrease global warming, the government and other businesses should follow some of these ideas. Drastic measures need to be taken to protect our oceans, rivers, forests and in the end our entire planet.
Climate change will have major and unpredictable effects on the earth’s water supply. Lakes, rivers and oceans support many species of animals and ecosystems and are very important to many industries and agriculture, if these living organisms were to be disturbed then many consequences would take place. For example, since climate change will cause extreme floods and intense droughts. If global warming keeps increasing then floods and droughts will become more common and less water supply will

    Because of the climate change, the earth is in danger. People don’t realize that the things they use or do every day are hurting the earth and living things. Nature.org says, “…one-fourth of Earth’s species will be headed for extinction by 2050 if the warming trend continues at its current rate…” Because the temperature is increasing, ice is melting. Because ice is melting, sea levels are rising. Higher temperatures don’t only melt ice but evaporates the moisture in the air. Evaporation will take away all of the land’s water leaving it as dry as a desert. With a drought now in progress, it will make it harder to find water and support agriculture.…

    The location of sovereignty in the UK in recent years has reduce from one single power and devolved into many unions, treaties and nations within the UK and abroad. Power has been devolved from a single sovereignty parliament in the UK to a-multi sovereignty in the UK and its nations. Scotland has played a bigger part in receiving sovereignty, for example, the electoral system devised for Scotland was to ensure that extremist (Scottish Nationalist Party) could never come to power, but they have, by working within its own sovereign parliament and not a central office, Westminster was pushed into allowing SNP to run Scotland as a country; if Westminster didn’t comply the Union of the United Kingdom, it could possible to break, This would show a weakness in UKs sovereignty.…

    The Global Warming is an increase of the average temperature of the terrestrial surface, considered as a symptom and a consequence of the climate change. The global warming of the Earth is already a fact that produced, and it will produce, serious consequences in the climate, the atmosphere and the biodiversity: increase of the average temperature of the Earth, decrease of the caps of ice at the Poles, increase of the level of the sea, increase of the desertification, disappearance of flora and fauna in ecosystems, shortage…

    It's nearly impossible to overstate the threat of climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising more rapidly than predicted and consequently the world is warming more quickly. Global warming will have catastrophic effects such as accelerating sea level rise, droughts, floods, storms and heat waves. These will impact some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, disrupting food production, and threatening vitally important species, habitats and ecosystems.…

    To ‘normal’ people it sounds like all these scientists and researchers are making a fuss about something so trivial. But is global warming really a trivial matter or, are the people unconscious about the danger of global warming. If you are conscious about it, you will see that the world is changing slowly due to global warming. Ice is melting worldwide, animals have moved to higher and cooler places, precipitation has increased and an increase of insects. But if global warming continues like this, it can become a disaster. There are possibilities that parts of the world will go under water, because the sea level rises. Floods and drought will occur more often, less fresh water will be available, due to the melting of the ice caps. Not only that, but animal species will be extinct, like the polar bear. Researcher Bill Fraser showed that the numbers of Adélie penguins on…

    I have a dream, that in a near future, the people of this world will come together as one. We could all come together as one and leave all our differences of color, religion, and political views behind us, to stand together to face what Bill McKibben calls the greatest challenge and threat mankind has ever faced: global warming. In 2007 Bill McKibben, an author, educator, and environmentalist, wrote the article, “Global Warning: Get Up! Stand Up!” to persuade people that we, the people on earth, have caused, and are still causing, the climate changes that have been taking place over the past decades. More than that, however, McKibben explains that something still needs to be done about it. McKibben uses extreme, yet reasonable, examples and methods to convey this message effectively.…
