Will you Rise to the Global Warming Challenge?



Will you Rise to the Global Warming Challenge?


The general consensus among scientists is that global warming is happening, and we need to do something about it soon, otherwise we will face serious problems in the future. Most solutions to global warming work around reducing the amount of energy we use, and the amount of emissions produced. This is something that we could do, if more people took global warming seriously.

We need to put solutions to the global warming problem in place now. The temperature of the planet is gradually rising and we have contributed greatly to that increase. We produce large amounts of CO2 emissions through our usage of coal, oil, and natural gas, and those emissions are damaging the ozone layer. Without rapid action, we will cause serious damage on a level that could threaten our future on this planet, as the ozone layer will be too thin to protect us from the suns rays.

Time For Common Sense

This is one problem that is not going to just suddenly go away. Some people joke 'it would be nice if it were a few degrees warmer, what is the big deal?' but the problem needs dealt with now. Heat waves are no joke, and can kill the very young, ill, or elderly. Heat waves mean forest fires, which can decimate entire woodlands. Then there are droughts, and the freak storms and winds that occur as the overall increase in temperature alters the weather system.

Reducing usage and waste are big steps towards protecting the planet
