Remember the days of fresh air and normal weather patterns? Now more carbon dioxide than ever has resulted in global warming. It is a major issue within our environment. Global warming is able to change weather patterns drastically. Temperatures are gradually increasing each year. Sea levels rise at astonishing heights. Even natural disasters are happening more often than not. Global warming is a real threat to our society and must be addressed immediately. Global warming has taken its toll on the earth’s temperature. As time is moving on, the temperature only rises higher and higher. According to M. Cooper, meteorologists’ evidence shows that an average rate of one degree has risen through the century. Along with this rate, scientists are predicting it will additionally rise from two to seven degrees in the twenty-first century. A warm earth means we are more prone to tropical diseases. As these areas begin to expand from the rise of temperature, the population and range of mosquitos will, too. There will be more risk of disease-carrying mosquitoes with malaria, dengue fever, and other deadly tropical diseases. This means there are signs of global warming, and therefore we must raise awareness to protect our environment. It is not wrong to raise awareness, but unfortunately there is much skepticism about global warming. Physics Nobel Prize winner, Ivar Giaever, exaggerates that it has become a new “religion.” More and more people are realizing that global warming is a serious threat that is affecting our way of living. It is certainly a movement, but just like any religion, we have the right to express it and should not be discriminated against about its viewpoints. All we want is an efficient and safe world; there is nothing ... ... middle of paper ... ...ase in temperatures. Polar ice and glaciers are melting and allowing sea levels to uplift. It is a disaster, a threat, and harmful for our new generation. We can change for the better by being smart and making the right decisions to reduce emission and solve the global warming issues. Living a better lifestyle that saves your costs and reduces disasters is all it takes. Little things can truly make a big difference for the future of our next generations.

Global Warming is a condition caused by greenhouse gases and human activities. The increased concentration of greenhouse gases due to activities such as deforestation and fossil fuel burning is causing the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans to warm up. As a result of this, global warming has some serious effects in the shape of extreme weather, species extinctions, and rising sea levels. These effects can contribute to the changes that are taking place all over the world, most of which are dangerous enough to pose a threat to the survival of life on Earth in the future.

Our planet has managed to survive and thrive for about 4.54 billion years. In the last 2 million years we have caused enough damage and destruction to make our world “broken” beyond repair. We will not be able to get back the world we once had. The reason behind this is global warming, specifically, the increase of the global temperature due to the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere. If we do not make the issue of global warming a priority in today`s society, our entire way of life will be at risk. There are many reasons why so many people believe global warming should be a concern. Thoroughly examined points include: scientific predictions, rising temperatures, human causes, drastic climate changes and animal adaptations. Though there are several points arguing how global warming should not be a concern, the reality of the matter is that it needs to be taken into consideration on a global scale before it is too late, as to do nothing would have devastating implications on humankind.
Background and Audience Relevance: There are always conversations about our planet. We see our earths glaciers melting, weather temperature rising, and pollution affecting our resources. But for some reasons we tend to look away. We should be more aware of this potential event and I’m here to inform everyone about what actually is global warming and the effects of it.

... of extreme weather and melting ice caps are indicators of global warming. Because these things will affect society, there are important decisions that have to be made in the present as well as in the future to secure people’s lives and lifestyles. The world community is aware of this serious issue and do already prepare for projects to slow down global warming, but they still have to improve. If the world leaders stop worrying about this issue, the future generations could be in danger. The future lifestyles will be affected by the decisions made in the present day. Society has much to improve to save energy and to lower greenhouse gas emissions. There are also small things people can do to help. Individuals can live a life without wasting energy or polluting the environment. Without effort, global warming endangers the quality of life for the future generations.
