SaNSooNo's Trail

Global warming is causing a controversy all around the world. Some people think that it's a mere myth, but the inconvenient truth is that it's a serious issue that all people should take seriously, since this has a great effect on our future and other generations. This trail fire is to awaken people's minds and hopefully accept this fact and the seriousness of this issue and try to help prevent anymore damage it's causing on people and our precious environment.

So what is global warming and how does it effect the environment? It's the gradual increase in temperatures caused by the emission of gases into earth's atmosphere. The gases are caused by the burning of fossil fuels which releases toxic gases in the atmosphere. This created a hole in the ozone layer and the sun's heat penetrates the earths atmosphere abnormally.

A possible effect of global warming is the rise of sea levels. This is mostly caused because the ice melts and thus causes sea level to get higher, or the heat causes expansion of the sea. This could be dangerous because many of the sea organisms might die, buildings and roads will gradually get flooded, fresh water might reserve. Global warming might also increase hurricanes that are more severe because higher sea level is predicted in the future.

The greenhouse effect is what keeps the earth at it's temperature. It occurs when heat is trapped in the atmosphere by gases. It prevents heat from being released into the outer atmosphere. With global warming, temperatures  would drop at an alarming rate over the generations. The earth would then become an ice planet. Too much of the greenhouse gases released in the earths atmosphere increases this greenhouse effect, which can lead to rising temperatures and change in precipitation. These  life changing  gases include; methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and other lethal gases that are released  into our atmosphere. These result from pollution of factories and industries mostly.

Have you ever thought how your kids and your grandchildren will live in the future? What are the dangers of global warming, and how does it effect our children's future? We never think about other lives and we just keep polluting our earth. Global warming causes flooding, where sea level will rise, so houses near the sea will probably be underwater, just like what happened in New Orleans.
