˙ūGlobal Warming Issues Provoke Debate

from: Ancient Hippy


Global warming issues are widely discussed around the world because these issues affect us all. Scientists generally agree on most global warming issues, but may cite different causes for the changes to our planet.

What Is Global Warming?

Global warming becomes an issue when greenhouse gases cover the earth s atmosphere trapping the sun s heat. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide and methane in our atmosphere are at the highest levels in six hundred fifty thousand years.

The earth reacts with more frequent extreme weather as well as melting glaciers and sea ice causing sea levels to rise. Other issues caused by global warming include coastal flooding, more intense hurricanes, water shortages and droughts, warming oceans leading to coral bleaching, increase in the spread of tropical diseases and even increases in allergens.

The Debate: Man Made

Some scientists believe that global warming issues are caused by carbon dioxide emissions from our cars and electric power plants. Carbon dioxide is a direct result of burning fossil fuels. The United States is the world s largest consumer of oil and twenty percent of carbon dioxide emissions come from automobiles.

Another cause of global warming includes the loss of forests and trees that help clean the air of pollutants. Over harvesting of forests have depleted the natural cleansing effects to the atmosphere.

The Debate: Natural Causes

Other scientists believe that these global warming issues are a natural evolution of the earth. They believe these changes would occur no matter what we do. This side of the debate is getting smaller every day as the evidence becomes more and more apparent.

Just In Case

Everyone can agree that reducing the causes of greenhouse gas emissions can make the earth a cleaner, healthier place. Conservation of our natural resources and changing to cleaner forms of energy, such as wind or solar, would affect global warming issues in a positive way also.

We should all do our part to help resolve these global warming issues by changing the way we live our everyday lives. Carpooling, taking public transportation and switching to cars that more fuel efficient or use alternate fuels can be very effective in reducing greenhouse emissions. From changing our light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs to conserving paper products to using cloth grocery bags, we can all make an impact. By utilizing renewable energy sources we can stop the damage conventional energy emissions cause to our environment.
