GLOBAL WARMING

The world is changing in many aspects but one of the most important is the climate. The weather is getting hotter; as a result, the ice is melting; eliminating the habit for the polar bears, penguins, and other animals of “cold blood” or cold weather. This affecting our world and is important to know and realize what is affecting our world. There are two types of causes of global warming: natural causes and man-made causes’. Humans could slow down the process if they want to save our planet, even if it isn’t easy.

One natural cause is the methane gas; from the arctic tundra and wetlands. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is very dangerous for our environment. The greenhouse gas; methane, traps heat in the world’s atmosphere and this is what makes the weather hotter. As we know: natural causes aren’t the biggest problem. We could stop these planting trees.

The biggest causes of the global warming are caused by humans. Some of them are pollution and population. First of all, pollution; people pollute the world every single day. They use paper, paper bags; they throw everything to the garbage, without recycling because is not in their regular habits, so this creates a lot of pollution around the world. Then world’s population is increasing every day, so this means that people is going to need more food, which also means that they are going to produce more trash. Also with the increasing they are going to need more methods of transportation, so more cars, and more pollution.

Humans should take care of the planet because we have only one, if we eliminate some species, their habitats, and their food, there’s no opportunity to start again the live, and the planet, so we should stop the global warming now. The earth and the future generations depend on us.
