Climate Change, a human cause “Climate change will displace millions…negatively impact yields of crops…increase of ill health in [people]… and cause conflict over resources.” (“Official prophecy of…”) Climate change is a predicted event, by scientists, that is happening right now and causing the Earth’s temperature to change drastically. The quote mentions only very few of the problems that will come with it, but where did climate change come from. We naturally look for others to blame for the change, yet we are our own problem. During the past millions of years, the Earth has never had any organism affect it so greatly until the appearance of humans. Being the dominant species, we’ve come to use the Earth’s natural resources, carelessly and are now facing

Carbon dioxide is supposed to be natural but deadly in large amounts (Causes of climate change). Inhaling carbon dioxide for an extended period of time will result in organ damage. Most of the cities with polluted air are from the Middle East. The people might have to take special precautions when walking around like wearing masks. This shows the evidence of over pollution in our atmosphere. Another piece of evidence is that the ozone layer itself is being broken down. Carbon dioxide will rise to the ozone layer and slowly break it down (Powell). Since carbon dioxide will stay in the atmosphere for a long time, it will gradually build up and destroy the entire ozone layer. The ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet rays which can cause us cancer. There is a huge hole in the ozone layer right above Antarctica which means some UV rays are passing through. There has been an increase if cancer rates in areas near Antarctica like New Zealand and Australia proving that there is an unusual change (Hirshmann, 18). Our change in life style has affected the Earth in the last century. In 2002, the U.S government
