Global Warming

What is global warming? Is it just a bit of extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or is it the glaciers in the north melting a bit? No global warming is much more than that. Global warming is, in some eyes, a scientific fact. It more greenhouse gases being trapped in the atmosphere which is causing higher then normal averages both on land and in our oceans. Not only does it effect our planet, but it effects the well ebing of both humans and other living plants and animals on the earth as well. The sad reality is that the increase of greenhouse gases is warming up our atmosphere, which in turn increases earth temperatures, which will melt the glaciers faster then normal which will mean no habitat for species like the polar bears. And this is just one small chain of effects that global warming has on the planet. It has more effects on more issuse that people should be concerned about.

It's kind of funny, because last year some of my professors showed a video on global warming. Some scientists believed in global warming, some did not but people operating big businesses said that global warming was a positve thing. They said it was good to have warmer temperatures because people liked it more and that the trees were able to keep up with the incresing amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere becasue it increased their growth. i for one, believe in global warming and think it is an issuse that should be dealt with sooner rather than later not just to benefit us but to benefit our children and granchildren, so they can enjoy the beauty that the earth has to offer.
