How do we, humans, affect the topic “global warming?” What is global warming? How does it affect the earth and living organisms? Global warming is a term used for describing a consistent change of heat temperature on our earth. It is also believed to permanently change the earth’s climate, making it warmer and warmer as time moves forward. It affects mainly sea and ice animals, scientists estimate that the arctic sea ice is melting 12% every decade.(www.wunderground.com) This greatly impacts a huge part of ecosystems if animals cannot survive in their habitat.
Our effect on Global Warming-
The big question is, is how do humans affect global warming? We release too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We release a lot of carbon dioxide into the air by burning fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum.(www.edf.org) Burning these fuels takes its toll, greenhouse effect traps all of …show more content…
We cannot prevent it from happening, but we can surely slow down the rate it is going. If we cut down the amounts of fossil fuels that we burn daily we can cut down the amounts of carbon dioxide that is released into our atmosphere. Obviously we can’t just stop burning those certain fuels, that will never happen however, we can do our parts to help. For example, instead of driving your car to the grocery store to pick up a few items, ride a bike or by you walking instead. It won’t hurt to exercise, plus all of that nasty fuel that is put into the air can help with the air quality as well. Slow down deforestation, by slowing down the production of urban cities. This is not easy. Populations are growing, we need more resources, but if we slow it down right now, it can totally make a difference. Some people say “global warming is a conspiracy” it really is not. Scientists have proven that the amount of carbon dioxide we humans produce from our daily lives is enough to really impact the world over these next couple of
