Global Warming
The main gases that cause the greenhouse effect are water vapor, carbon
dioxide (CO2), and methane,
which come naturally, mainly from animal manure. Other gases like nitrogen oxide and chlorofluorocarbons; man made gases, get caught in the atmosphere as well, also the decay of animals and respiration are two main natural sources of carbon dioxide. In my opinion, the people of the world should try to slow down the emission of man maid greenhouse gases and find ways to restore the natural balance so the
climate does not change in an unnatural way. If we fail to do this, we will be forced to adapt to a new and uncertain climate. If we had an international cooperation to put a damper on the production of chlorofluorocarbons and slowed down the use of fossil fuels it would dramatically slow done the process of global warming.
Carbon dioxide pollution from the
increase of industry and transportation is a major cause of global warming. These two causes are connected with the growth in the world population. As the population grows the necessity for food and other products increase, therefore industry must grow to keep up with the demand. The increase in transportation is directly due to the growing population and the need for jobs and the growing congestion on our highways.
Another cause in global warming is deforestation. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air as they grow. The carbon dioxide is released back into the air as they are cut and burned. The forest ability to reduce the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is decreasing rapidly due to massive deforestation of worlds rain forests. These causes are fixable, but if they are not fixed, the Earth and its inhabitants will become victims of global warming.
I believe global warming is a big threat to our nation and the world. If we do not act now, it may be too late. Although there is no sure way of telling what the climate will be like in the future we must take steps to ensure the health of the Earth. If you look at what is happening to this world, and you will see that there is a pollution problem. There are steps being taken to reduce the amount of green house gases put into the air, but it still is not enough, we need to do more to reduce global warming, if we don't future generations will suffer the effects of global warming.
