Manmade Climate Change is Real
Seas and Lakes dry up. The international community is ravaged by droughts. Extreme cases of heat waves, animal extinction, rising coastal waters, earthquakes and deforestation have strained the Earths natural balance. “How could this happen” one may ask. The answer is surprisingly simple. It’s the greed and ignorance of mankind.

The burning of fossil fuels for the past couple decades has caused the earth to become hotter than any other period in history. Man made emissions must be reduced by at least eighty percent by 2020 to avoid a global warming disaster. The main cause of climate change is the emissions of heat trapping gasses …show more content…
