Global Warming is Becoming a Problem

Global warming is becoming an even bigger issue as the years pass. The government doesn’t seem to do anything until it’s too late, always waiting for the last possible second to fix problems instead of dealing with them from the beginning. Now we are fighting a war that is much bigger than Iraq and may become a battle we cannot win. Even now there are organizations that are trying to prevent additional effects that society has been causing for generations.This disaster is destroying the habitats of polar bears, thus driving them to extinction; affecting weather, and creating more monstrous storms than anyone could comprehend. These events may seem like nothing but that is far from true. Over the past few years, we have been continuously bit by natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the California fires and Washington floods. Global warming it’s caused by the “greenhouse effect”, which is when “greenhouse gases” trap energy within the earth’s atmosphere and causes the temperature to rise. But to make matters more confusing the “greenhouse effect” is a very important factor to human survival. We need it to regulate earth’s climate; otherwise the temperatures would become unbearably cold. It’s ironic that we need the greenhouse effect to survive, but it is also the very thing that could destroy us. More information on the greenhouse effect can be found at http://epa.gov/climatechange/kids/greenhouse.html. There are so many ways to help prevent a worse off future. All you have to do is use better gas, carpool, use energy-saving light bulbs, and many more ideas found on http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/.
