    What is Global Warming?

    Global Warming is the theory that we as

    humans are increasing greenhouse gases

    (the layerof gases that catches the suns

    rays and heats the earth) through

    industrialization causing more gases and

    increasing the amount of sunlight that gets

    caught and heats the Earth.

    General Viewpoint

    The general viewpoint is that global

    warming and pollution from CO2

    emissions are adding to greenhousegases so significantly that the Earth is

    warming up and will continue to warm.

    Why is this warming bad?!

    We believe that this increase in

    temperature will eventually cause the

    melting of the ice caps. This melting could

    increase the oceans height by up to 2 feetin only one century! This would mean

    many heavily populated costal cities would

    flood causing millions maybe billions ofdollars and damage and the potential loss

    of life in these cities.

    Other Effects from Global Warming

    There are also other effects to global

    warming such as natural disasters have

    been increasing, disease have been

    spreading more rapidly, and animals havebeen found migrating towards the poles

    due to the increase in heat.

    Ocean Acidification

    CO2 + H20 HCO3-

    + H+

    Water becomes

    more acidic.

    (ACID)

    atmosphere(greenhouse gas)

    sea water

    CO2CO2

    The surface ocean currently absorbs about one-fourth of

    the CO2emitted to the atmosphere from human activities.

    Real Facts

    The number of category 4 and 5 hurricaneshave almost doubled in the last 30 years.

    The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has

    more than doubled in the past decade.

    At least 279 species of plants and animals arealready responding to global warming, movingcloser to the poles.

    Future Effects of Global Warming

    Deaths from global warming will double in just25 years, to 300,000 people a year.

    Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feetwith the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and

    Antarctica, devastating costal areas worldwide.

    Heat waves will be more frequent and intense.

    Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.

    The Arctic Ocean could be ice free by 2050.More than a million species could be driven to

    extinction by 2050.

    My View

    I do strongly agree that with that all the

    privileges we are given through industrialization

    we need to use our intelligence to make sure allthe processes we use to make our lives easier

    are efficient and have very little harm on our

    environment.
