Blog 7 week 8 global warming
Today we are faced with many issues. With two unpopular wars going on as well as a struggling economy where a dollar is no longer the dollar it used to be, many of us find ourselves struggling to make it day to day. However there is another pressing problem that simply can't go ignored, as it might even have more unfavorable implications that will affect us for decades and maybe even centureies to come. I'm talking about global climate change. Also known as Global warming and to some it marks the possible end of this earth and the human race as we know it. Global climate change is no longer just something strewn up by tree hugging liberals to anger the coservatives and to keep loggers from tearing down trees. It is certainly a real disaster waiting to happen that has been plaguing us for years and only seems to get worse with every single passing day. there are simply more humans on earth than ever before, and with this there is much more waste and pollution. There are also much more technology, vehicles, power plants, etc. that all vastly contribute waste and pollution, destroying our precious OZone. Polar ice caps are melting and temperatures are at the highest they've ever been. Meanwhile entire species are dying off and massive cities such as Mexico City are overcome with pollution. the human race is killing itself off and most don't even seem to notice it. And worse, some know it and simply just don't care. At the rate we're going, we'll be lucky if this earth is even able to survive and support the human race for another hundred years. We have simply been using and latelye just downright abusing this earth for the past hundred years. We have become carless and wasateful, not thinking about the impact every single individuatl has on this earth. However, we all leave our footprings on the earth, our carbon flootpring that is. Each individuatl on this earth contribues to the waste and pollution. If everyone became aware of how much of an impact they had on the earth, they would htink twice about throwing that Skittles wrapper out the window, or putting a Pepsi can in the trash, rather than the recycling. It is the small things like these taht really add up to make a difference. As humans and the sole reason for global warming, it is our responsibility to do as much as we can to reverse the damage done, for our own sake.
