THE THREAT FROM GLOBAL WARMING ON
NATURE
Global warming effects are a threat to the world
that we live in. The impact of climate change is already being felt and we must work to make
significant changes.
Global warming has been recognized as a
threat for the past several decades. The impact of climate change
is already being felt around the world
foreshadowing the disastrous changes to come if global warming effects are not
reversed.
The rises in temperatures felt by the people of
Earth today are nothing compared to what the impact of climate change will bring in the
future.
Many of our day-to-day activities are changing
the planet.
Global warming effects are felt not only in the
large industrial areas of the planet; they can be felt is small remote villages and
unpopulated areas of the Earth also.
Our activities produce carbon, methane, and other
dangerous gasses that are destroying the ozone layer, the layer of the atmosphere that
protects us from the sun’s harmful rays.
Chlorofluorocarbons are only one of the many ways we are destroying the ozone.
Global warming effects result from these gasses as
they escape from our refrigerators and our air-conditioning units.
While ecological experts are not asking you to do
away with all of these modern conveniences, they are asking you make good and educated
choices when it comes protecting our planet.
Global warming effects can be seen in many of
the major patterns in the world’s weather. The impact of climate change can be seen in
droughts, floods, and other forms of weather.
If you grew
up in an area that now experiences significantly less snow every year you are experiencing the
impact of climate change.

Global warming effects can be dangerous. With
major changes in weather patterns come other major problems.
Without cooler weather insects will not die off
each year and harmful bacteria and other organisms will grow.
These growths lead to major outbreaks of disease
and the deaths of many people.
Farming and agriculture are also affected as the
growing and harvesting seasons are thrown off course. T
he life in the seas and rivers of our planet will
also feel these massive changes.
If the current outlook does not change, our
planet will eventually become uninhabitable due to global warming
affects.
What can one individual do to combat global
warming effects? It may seem dire and hopeless when presented
with the above facts.
In reality, it is
far from hopeless. There are actions individuals can take today that will have positive
effects on the future of the planet. Global warming can be slowed only if people take a
personal interest in doing so.
The impact of climate change can become more
positive if every home works to become green.
Composting, recycling, and other activities are
simple and do not involve major life changes.
A family of four can make a huge impact on the
environment by changing the way they eat and learning to shop and eat locally grown
produce.
These and other green choices will positively
affect global warming.
