Global Warming

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that it is happening, and human-induced. Global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Many People do agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. The source from New York Times article Global Warming states "On the one hand, warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. On the other, the technological, economic and political issues that have to be resolved before a concerted worldwide effort to reduce emissions can begin have gotten no simpler, particularly in the face of a global economic slowdown." Global warming will affect human race by combination of violent storms, rapid changes in local climates, disruption of the water cycle and extinction of plants and animals will probably cause local food shortages. Global warming can change the shift of the climate. For example, it will change worldwide weather patterns, leading to droughts in some areas and flooding in others. I hope as human we will take this issue more seriously and try to do the best to save our PLANET.
