Global Warming

The truth is, global warming has become a serious very present problem. We have been hitting record breaking highs in temperates throughout this decade and it doesnt show signs of stopping.


Some scientists believe that by the end of this century, the earth’s climate will have increases by between three and ten degrees. I think its strange that politicians seem to argue the facts. They say it is a natural occurance and I'm thinking they are leaving a lot out. It may be a natural process but studies are proving that the release of greenhouse gases has spedup the process. But enough arguing, there is for certain a problem and we are who can change it. I feel like it is easy to ignore the way things are headed but we are the generation who is going to see the effects of this.

Here are some things the article reccomened. They are so easy and obvious, it just needs to be done.

Turn off lights.
Take shorter showers to save water.
Unplug applianceswhen not using them. Even when they’re not on, they use energywhen plugged into the wall.
Use compact fluorescent bulbs. (I already learned about this one from another article!!) They produce the same amount of light as regular ones but use lessenergy and last ten times longer.
Plant a tree.
Recycle.
Raise awareness
