What is Global Warming?
Global Warming is the theory that we as humans areincreasing greenhouse gases through industrialization
causing more gases and increasing the amount ofsunlight that gets caught and heats the Earth.

GENERAL VIEWPOINT
The general viewpoint is that Global Warming and pollution from CO2 emissions are adding to greenhouse gases so significantly that the Earth is warming up and will continue to warm.

Why is this Warming bad?
We believe that this increase in temperature will eventually cause the melting of the ice caps. This melting could increase the oceans height by up to 2 feet in only one century!

There are also other effects to global warming such
as- • Migration of animals• Natural disasters • Diseases

Over the last 5 decades:
Open areas decreased by 34%
Wet areas decreased by 88%
Water and lakes decreased by 14%
Effects on wetlands and forests

Water becomes more acidic.
(ACID)
Remains in the atmosphere
Dissolves in sea water

“The surface ocean currently absorbs about one-fourth of the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere from human activities.”

The number of category 4 and 5 hurricanes have almost doubled in
the last 30 years. The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has
more than doubled in the past decade. At least 279 species of plants
and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer
to the poles.

Dangers from Global Warming
• Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years• Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet.• Heat waves will be more frequent and intense.• Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.• The Arctic Ocean could be ice free by 2050.

My ViewI do strongly agree that with that all the privileges we are given through industrialization we need to use our intelligence to make sure all the processes we use to make our lives easier are efficient and have very little harm on our environment.
