Gasses stay in the atmosphere causing the Earth to warm up. Do you think this is issue is concerning to our planet? Will our future generations see what we have now or will we make it catastrophic? Warming caused by us has done too much harm already and will continue unless we do something to stop it or reduce it significantly. Global warming is changing not only ecosystems, agricultural life, animal behaviors, but also what our future earth will look like.
Do you know what global warming is? Incase you don't here is a brief explanation of what it is. Greenhouse gasses are carbon …show more content…

Mastrandrea states A natural warming process is always occurring but since the mid-1900’s human activity has had a major impact on warming than the natural occurring process. The Earth's average temperature has started increasing since the mid-1800’s but it’s increased the most since mid-1900’s to 2000’s by 1.4 Fahrenheit degrees. This doesn't include the increase from 2000 to 2016.(1). Since automobiles starting coming out and the modernizing of the world all the CO2 produced started building up in atmosphere. Since 2000 the 10 warmest years of a 136-year record have occurred, with the exception of 1998. 2015 currently holds the record for the hottest year in the US (Facts). This past decade has been one of the hottest decades ever. This is just the beginning of global warming it’s just going to start getting worse from …show more content…

Here are just a few. Mastrandrea gives a few predictions, A 2.0 to 11.5 Fahrenheit degree increase in our current average temperature by 2100 is has been predicted by scientist. Scientist have predicted that global warming will damage the environment, human society, animals, and plants (1). Global warming affects weather patterns and also affect human health worldwide. These effects can become more severe and spread further if warming continues according to scientist (2). We know heat is going to increase, environments, animals, and plants. A positive prediction of damage to our society has also been done by scientist. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), over 1,300 scientists from around the world, have forecasted a 2.5 to 10 degree Fahrenheit temperature rise over the next century came from the Earth Science Communications
