Argumentative Essay: The Effects Of Global Warming

Have you ever noticed the air temperatures getting warmer, storms being much larger than they used to be? These are effects of global warming because the amounts of fossil fuels that we burn on a daily bases. The emissions of all the fuels we burn clogs up the atmosphere of the earth like a blanket and heats the earth up more than it would if we didn’t burn fossil fuels because it doesn’t allow gasses to escape out into the atmosphere. With the air heating up and getting warmer, the water temperatures are heating up to, which is very bad for trout who have evolved to only live in cool water; trout are uncomfortable in water above about 20°C. When water temperature heats up it doesn’t allow oxygen to dissolve into the water like it should, …show more content…
had to offer. The Native Americans had been fishing for trout for hundreds of years but not in bulk like the settlers did to feed hundreds of families. They also didn’t clear cut hundreds of acres of densely wooded forest either like the settlers did when they first came here. As time went on and more and more humans were coming, usually staying along water ways, trout habitat, it polluted more and more. Now in 2015 still most of our major cities are along water, our sewage gets released back into the water, and our millions of pounds of trash still find its way to our water ways. We need to preserve the trout population and their habitat and this isn’t sustainable, the way we’re doing it now. If Ulysses S. Grant were around to see the devastation that humans have had on the nation’s water sheds and fish habitats today, he’d be devastated. To keep trout around for the next generation and the generation after that we have to come up with a plan to keep pollution to an absolute minimum, make dams more “fish friendly” and find a way to be able to keep the waters from heating up more than they already have because of global
