Introduction 

Before I talk about a serious issue, I would like to start off with something a little funny. Some viewers may find this offensive, but remember, it’s only a joke.

Now that we’ve had our laughs, it’s time to get serious. Global warming is a serious issue, especially in society today. If you look at the movie trailer for the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, you will learn that we still can stop global warming before it’s too late.

What is Global Warming?

Global warming is when the Earth gets warmer and warmer. Since the Earth is getting warmer, the polar ice caps are going to melt. When it melts, it creates more water. Eventually, land would be covered in water. Scientists say that the land will start to flood within 50 years.

What is Causing Global Warming?

Global warming is being caused by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases consist of pollution from vehicles and factories. Since there are so many greenhouse gases, the ones in the atmosphere are blocking the ones that are coming out, making the Earth warmer.

The hole in the ozone layer doesn’t help much either. The rays from the sun go through the hole, and since the greenhouse gases block the sun’s rays, the rays can’t get out, causing the Earth to get warmer.

What Can We Do?

There are many things we can do,but we would have to work as a globe, kind of like a team. In fact, exactly like a team. Here are some things that I think we could do to at least control global warming

• Use less fossil fuels

• Use solar energy

• Don’t burn coal

• Don’t use factories

• Try to use hybrid vehicle technologies

There are many other things that we could do to try to stop global warming from happening. For example, people could educate others on global warming and how we could stop it.

Do you have any ideas on how we could stop global warming?

This is why I think Global Warming is an Issue…
