December is usually one of the coldest months in the north pole, but on December 30, 2015, the north pole temperature was a record breaking 33 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above the freezing point. If this isn't proof enough of global warming than I don't know what is. It is blatantly obvious that climate change is an extremely real and scary thing, and if we don't start making a change now, then our plant is headed for destruction.
2015 was a year for the record books, and not in a positive way. In the year 2000, we consumed all of the Earth's resources for the year by October. Last year in 2015, we used up all of the years resources by mid-August. If we continue on this path, we are estimated to consume the years resources by late-June in 2030. Not only are we consuming resources at a quicker rate, but the levels of greenhouse gases in our air is also the highest it has ever been. There has been a 36 percent increase in warming because of greenhouse gases since 1990. Due to these changes, sea levels have risen by around 8 inches since 1870. Even though, we might not be around to see the horrible consequences to come in the future, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make a change now. If we

Instead of eating meat all day, everyday; everyone can make a small change in their diet, by only eating meat once a day, or even every other day. Considering that our plant has become warmer, people should take advantage of the weather and start walking or riding bikes to nearby places. Cars are another huge contributor to global warming, and deciding to walk every once and awhile can also make a huge
