Global Warming is Affecting the Earth
Nowindays, global warming is a ‘hot’ topic! Global warming is responsible for deaths of humans and animals, but global warming is being traced back to us-humans. Global warming started to be recognized as an issue in 2008, says Harvard Press. Nobody has been able to figure out what started the hazard. It could be from Volcanoes, Factories/Plants, the heat from the sun, etc. Global warming has killed many animals and many plants, and is planned to get worse. The planet is warming from the north pole to the south pole changing the environment.
There are many things affecting the earth and causing global warming to worsen. Greenhouse gases are insulators that trap in the heat, to much of this can lead to global warming. All the human activities (like driving, etc.) are releasing CO2 into the earth. These human activities are burning fossil fuels and they are being released into the atmosphere. Companies cutting down trees for various reasons is an example of how CO2 rapidly increases. Trees are important for more reasons than providing a home for birds and other animals, they clean/create the oxygen we breathe and live with. Bill Henderson thinks the most direct answer is that the world is in crisis, that the climate is changing faster than scientists hoped it would. All the projections suggested that there would be

Global warming is bringing more intense heat waves and longer, warmer summers, and less snow in the winters. With an expansion of heat waves, we could be building up pollution, says Ronald from LiveScience. Studies from NASA have shown high levels of pollution are linked to an increase of hospital admissions for heart issues. With more heat and less water, we will experience deadly droughts. The rapid melting of sea ice is the main reason for the dramatic drops in the population of polar bears, says
