Lets Not Be Next

There is no debate climate change is as real as apple pie.


Unfortunately, only half of that claim was true. For some odd reason, many
refuse to recognize the facts. Such people deny the existence of climate
change and live under a veil of ignorance. The truth may be uncomfortable,
but shying away from the inevitable is the precise reason why mankind has
found itself under todays looming doom. In fact, ninety-five percent of
scientists agree that mankind itself is to blame for climate change. Evidence
supports the fact that the natural behavior of the suns solar irradiance is
causing climate change as well. Regardless, climate change is all too real;
and tragically, it may already be too late. It is the obligation of each and
every individual inhabiting this earth to protect, and respect their home.The
ice age marked the most recent drastic swing in temperature, exterminating
an entire species. Lets not be next.
Obviously, temperature on Earth is dependent upon the intensity of the
solar rays that reach the Earths surface. Expected, natural causes for
changes in the relationship between the sun and the Earth are the suns
eleven year cycle of incremental variations in intensity, as well as changes in
the tilt and position of the Earths axis and shape of its orbit.This degree of
small change has been present throughout the course of history and since
1750, the average amount of solar energy has either remained constant or
increased slightly. Yet, it does not explain the sudden, and unexpected leap
in global warming. The climatic models developed by modern day scientists
havent been able to explain the rising temperatures without taking into
account the effect of greenhouse gasses. Furthermore, as stated by the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) If the warming were
caused by a more active sun, then scientists would expect to see warmer
temperatures in all layers of the atmosphere. Instead, they have observed a
cooling in the upper atmosphere, and a warming at the surface and in the
lower parts of the atmosphere. That's because greenhouse gasses are
trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. Therefore, unless future discoveries
lead to the understanding that the sun is taking an unexpected route
towards much higher intensities on its own accord, greenhouse gasses are
the main culprit for climate change.
To make matters worse, the rise in greenhouse gases possess a direct
correlation with human behavior. This paper is being written thanks to
greenhouse gases. In fact, greenhouse gases can be thanked for the
existence of all life on planet Earth. Greenhouse gases make up some of the

atmosphere and serve as an invisible blanket that, like Goldilockss porridge,


are just right. Earth has neither too little nor too much greenhouse gasses,
and in turn the invisible blanket they create is the perfect thickness for
Earths inhabitants to neither freeze nor melt. However, when ignorant,
greedy human nature prevails, the balance is thrown off. Since the start of
the industrial revolution, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane,
and water vapor have increased exponentially. In turn, the Earth is swaddled
in unnecessary blanket after unnecessary blanket until oops! Too many
blankets increased Earths temperature and the steam age commenced,
melting everything on the planet. If humans dont wake up, or a more
evolved, wiser alien race doesnt come to tell us how stupid we are, the
steam age is inevitable. Necessary precautions must take place.
