Well, I am stuck i can't think of anything else to say. Please help, feel free to edit my essay or give me some advice. This is what i have so far :
For centuries, humans have treated the Earth as a never ending resource, to be utilized and squandered at will. They never cared about the changes, or more specifically, the damage they have caused towards the environment by destroying trees, and ruining the surfaces of the earth which used to be a beautiful view and were the pride of all human beings. Recent years have shown that there is a price to be paid for the negative effects, and the prospect of catastrophic results from global warming have the Earth's human inhabitants scrambling to make improvements before it is too late. As K. Lee Lerner and Brenda Wilmoth report, "Global warming, as used in the popular context, is a scientifically controversial phenomenon that attributes an increase in the average annual surface temperature of Earth to increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases". These increases lead to adverse affects that impact human's daily lives. ----- Help me think of something else to say. Thank you.
As mentioned above, the influences of Global Warming are wide spread; however, there will always be other opinions. James M. Inhofe argues, who is the Senator of Oklahoma, "[Global Warming is the] greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people". He states that the only reason the environmental extremists are exploiting the issue is for fundraising purposes to finance their campaigns. In his statement he emphasizes a book written by Dr. Michael Crichton, a leading medical doctor and scientist, called "State of Fear," which starves on the lies of Global Warming and how scientists exaggerate the problem in order to get grants. Some scientists strongly disagree with these claims of false evidence and accusations. The harsh realty is Global Warming is a Phenomenon that needs to be considered by the world and to start preparing to take actions.
In addition to acknowledging Global Warming, humanity needs to amend their why of living for the better, in order to weaken the affects brought onto by the phenomenon. For example, instead of people going out and buying big expensive trucks that emit tons of carbon dioxide, the leading cause for the greenhouse effect, they could buy little inexpensive hybrid cars, which promised by the engineers of the vehicle, could save them money at the gas pump. Humans might not know they are contributing to Global Warming, but they are. Carbon footprint, as defined by scientists is,
"[A] measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc."
This shows that everybody's necessity has a consequence, whether the consumer knows it or not.
All these factors add up to the potentials the phenomenon can induce on humankind. According to National Geographic there are visible impacts from increasing temperatures happening today. For example, glacial retreat, raising sea level, Arctic shrinkage, extreme weather events such as hurricanes, major floods, droughts, associated landslides, storms, ocean and coastal surges, heat waves, and cold snaps are all events associated with Global Warming. Many skeptics would disagree on the matter whether these events have anything to do with Global Warming. One thing is sure the situations are happening know and there needs to be change. If the world continues to ignore the most obvious issues there will be a price to be paid. Not only are the humans going to suffer, but the animals as well.
In the same way, animals have to endure the same fate as humans. In observations from National Geographic, they have noticed an upset in the ecosystem, due to rising temperatures butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants had to modify their location father up north or to higher, cooler areas. In compressions, many other different spices of organisms have found it to hard to live in the places their usually located. In result, predators of the organisms had to follow for survival. In other words, all through Earth the affects are being felt.
