Global warming is affecting us by making our climate Change significantly. Global warming happens to make the world a little warmer and it has thrown off our climates and our seasons. Our Climate temperatures tend to increase because of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas trap heat and make the world warmer and a large amount …show more content…
Ben Bova himself writes, “Migrating Animals head north earlier because of spring temperatures are arriving weeks earlier in the year. Plants blossom weeks earlier too. And plants and animals species are expanding their habits northward because of generally warmer temperatures”.(Bova 410) Bova is saying here is that global warming changing the temperatures has caused animals to leave their habitats sooner and plants to to blossom sooner than ever. One long term effect is glaciers, glaciers are are slowly melting away. If global warming keeps warming the glaciers, soon there will be no glaciers in the future causing the sea level to rise. Another long term affect is polar bears are drowning. polar bears are drowning because they have to swim further to get to a floating piece of ice. The long term effects of this means the possibility of extinction for polar bears. Lastly, Global warm affects our health, heat waves can cause heat strokes and air pollution can cause allergies and asthma. The Natural Resources Defense Council states, ”rise in average temperature will have far-reaching effects on the earth 's climate patterns and on all living things. Many of these changes have already begun”(NRDC). Furthermore, as global warming continues earth will lose some of its most important and beautiful things. The future of global warm is very …show more content…
If changes don 't occur human activity affecting global warm, human activity will make it from bad to worse. David J. Rothkopf states “A shift away from dirty old fuels is the only path toward reducing several of the greatest security threats the planet faces, but we must carefully and avoid letting our optimism run away with us”(Rothkopf 419). To take case in point, we need to ditch fossil fuels and move to something cleaner. But we can 't let our will to be open minded about changing our ways for global warming. A few things that can reduce the human activity cause of global warming are driving less. driving less means few emissions coming out of your vehicle, also driving less saves money on gas. try taking public transportation, ride a bike or even carpool. Another thing you can do to reduce global warming is plain and simple, plant a few trees. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and put oxygen in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas mainly released from human activity. More trees means less carbon dioxide which equals a decrease in global warming produced by humans. Equally important, the three R’s, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. yes it is true recycling does in fact save the world and reduce global warming. Recycling reduce greenhouse gases and emission from places like landfills. lastly, educate friends, family and people
