Global Warming, Will We Survive?
There are many theories out there of whether or not climate change is a
natural cycle in the worlds life. We have recorded a 1.3-1.9F rise in temperature
since 1845, but the majority of the temperature increase has been within the last
40 years. This very well could indicate that a new natural cycle has begun on
Earth, and nature is just running her course. However, there are many factors
that indicate humans are responsible for this enormous increase contrary to the
natural order of things.
Studies have shown that the natural Greenhouse Effect of our planet has
been growing warmer, although natural causes are not the reason. Some reasons
are the increase in the population of the human race, the pollution produced
from our factories and, one of the greatest impacts, the carbon dioxide from
burning fossil fuels. Scientists expect that if we do not do something, and quickly,
we will see drastic changes in the climate in the decades to come.
The other thought is that the Sun has been gradually emitting more heat,
or growing hotter, thus causing stronger rays to travel into Earths atmosphere.
This would result in Global Warming, or causing the greenhouse effect to
increase in temperature around the world.
With the sun naturally emitting more heat, along with the unnatural
effects humans have on the planet, we are slowly destroying our planet. We

should do our part to try and conserve our planet in any way we can. If not, we
may have to pay extreme consequences that we wont be able to avoid.
