The earth’s climate is changing all the time. There are ice ages and heatwaves. At the moment we are going through another climate change. A statement from Barack Obama at the 2014th United Nations Climate Summit says, “There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate” (Fox News, 2014). This shows that climate change is a real thing and people did not just come up with it. Global warming is the increase of the overall temperatures of the earth’s atmosphere. It is mainly caused by the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun’s heat in the earth atmosphere due to different gases like water vapor or carbon dioxide. This process is causing permanent warming of the planet. Some people believe that global warming has only negative effects. The carbon dioxide emission is increasing, the ice at the arctic is melting, and

As reported by Union of Concerned Scientist, the permanent rise of C02 is the main cause of climate change over the past 60 years, “CO2 has contributed more than any driver to climate change between 1750 and 2011” (Union of concerned scientist, 2017). Carbon dioxide is a common gas and is caused by humans in large amounts. For example, by burning coal and the Industrialization. Also, stated in this writing, carbon dioxide will need at least 10,000 years to reduce, “After a pulse of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, 40% will remain in the atmosphere for 100 years and 20% will reside for 1000 years, while the final 10% will take 10,000 years to turn over” (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2017). In fact, the todays emission will affect the future generations. Humans are continuing to pollute the air by driving cars, using airplanes, and many more reasons. More gas means that it will take longer to disappear and will make the warming worse from year to
