Global Warming

There are so many global issues that just about every country in this world has in common. One that really always interests me is Global warming. Most of the reason is because it’s my future and it is happening to my generation and it is something that can be prevented. But instead we aren’t dealing with the fact that global warming is hitting us faster that we think. There are many countries joining together to tackle this issue to try and find solutions to the problem.

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up and there is now overwhelming scientific consequences that it is happening, and human influence. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are not going to happen as easy as we may think. Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. This section looks at what causes climate change, what the impacts are and where scientific concensus currently is.

Another form of global warming is global dimming. Research has shown that air pollution from fossil fuel use make clouds reflect more of the sun’s rays back into space. This leads to an effect known as global dimming where less heat and energy reaches the earth. At first, it sounds like an ironic savior to climate change problems. But , it is said that global dimming caused the droughts in Ethiopia in the 1970s and 80s where millions died, because the northern hemisphere oceans were not warm enough to allow rain growth and fall. Global dimming is also hiding the true power of global warming. By cleaning up global dimming-causing pollutants without trying to find out the proper way to tackle the greenhouse gas emissions, and rapid warming has been observed, but various human health and ecological disasters have resulted, as witnessed during the European heat wave in 2003, which saw thousands of people die

The world mostly agrees that something needs to be done about global warming and climate change. The first
