          Is Global Warming a real threat? Yes it is!
By: Wilmer Jimenez

This earth is a very fragile place and what humans do to the earth is harmful. People don't realize that planet earth is the ONLY earth that we have to live on. Once this earth is rotten, where are we going to go? No one knows. A big threat to our earth is Global Warming. Global Warming is caused by having to much carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere. The atmosphere traps the carbon dioxide acting as a blanket and warming the planet. Lately way to much Co2 has been entering the atmosphere. Humans and animals are in danger because of global warming. There are number of effects and they are : 


Animals losing there habitats
  Forest Fires  
                                                                                     

  Floods

Spread of Diseases 


Rising Sea Levels
Extreme Weather Conditions 


Those effects are occurring daily and is always damaging our earth, humans and animals. Us humans have to start picking up our heads and realizing that our earth is in danger and that we need to start taking care of it. We have to remember that this is the ONLY planet we have to live on. There are ways that us humans can prevent global warming. Some ways that we can prevent global warming is to reduce fossil fuel use, planting trees, reducing 
greenhouse gases, driving less, biking or walking, using wind/solar and hydro energy. 


This video shows how Global Warming works and how it has changed our planet in so many years



If people keep looking at global warming as a joke, change won't happen. Make a change now and start walking or biking around. Help out the earth and improve how you live. 


"The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences." - Al Gore

  1. The atmosphere is fine. If we take action today we will only make things worse. Then what will we do? Our earth has been spinning for so many years and will continue to circulate. Our atmosphere will adapt !

    1. If we take action today, things will change and humans and animals will be supported for many more decades. Yes our earth has been spinning for so many years but our atmosphere can't handle the amount of Co2 entering the atmosphere. Floods, Forest fires, Spread of Diseases and animal extinction have been occurring so much more lately because of global Warming. Yes our atmosphere could adapt to it, but it would only make matters worse.
