Have you ever kicked back in the pool, soaked up all the suns rays, and enjoyed yourself on a hot december day? The odds are probably slim, however we continue to pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse-gasses this could become a likely scenario. Global warming is the exponential rise of climates and temperatures, this eventually raises average temperatures enough to melt ice caps, kill animals, and change habitats. We’ve had the hottest temperatures on record, and they will continue to rise. What is the pollutant causing Earth's temperatures to rise? The truth is that there are multiple “greenhouse gasses” that get trapped into the atmosphere; the gases then begin to move when the sun's U.V rays heat them up, this causes global temperatures

My uncle Dan and I had a conversation about greenhouse gasses in october, he was in the tenth grade in 1954. Dan told me that in his science class, teachers had just begun to introduce the topic of greenhouse gasses, and according to Dan no one had really believed that subject matter due to the topic being so foreign and new. Greenhouse gases are made up of, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and a few varying gasses. If we can find ways to sustainably reduce or manage greenhouse gases, global temperatures would halt for a while; this is because once greenhouse gasses are put into the atmosphere they never leave, and the temperatures would eventually catch up. Greenhouse gasses aren’t produced through just machines. Cows can also produce greenhouse gasses. If we cut down on red meat we might be able to reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere. Most of the greenhouse emissions come from fossil fuels. We heavily rely on fossil fuels.Alternative energy sources can be used to reduce the amount of fossil fuels be burned and put into the atmosphere.You might ask, what is alternative energy and how can we use it to reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere?

In the great barrier reef, the warming temperatures are heating up coral, and as a result fish are dying off and being forced to leave their habitats to cooler water. Climate change is classified when regional temperatures rise 2 degrees Fahrenheit. This might not seem like much, but it’s a noticeable difference. Consequently, this two degree change could be life or death in some places such as Antarctica, where the ice is melting at such a rate that native animals are going extinct. Climate change is the most probable thing about global warming. Many world leaders have come together to try and slow this process because more and more people are beginning to realize that we need to do something to help stop the spiraling chain of events that has been happening in recent years. As you can see Climate change has the potential to be a problem in the ever expanding
