 Many scientist blame people for causing global warming! According to these scientists, we are burning fossil fuels and clearing too much land. People are polluting our Earth which causes the atmosphere to break down, then soon the Sun’s rays will make the Arctic melt and the ocean level rise; then the world will flood.
Did you know that since the last century Earth's temperature went up 1ºF? Also, the warmest years of the 20th century so far all happened in the 1990’s. The Earth’s temperature is still rising, threatening our environment and lives.
Global warming is a threat because it will make our land flood and we need our land to live on. Without land our human population will decrease. Global warming is also a threat because it will affect the ecosystems all around the world.
According to evidence they cite, many scientists support the view that global warming is made by man. Therefore, people are responsible for helping slow down global warming.
In this portion of our site you will learn about what global warming is, evidence that global warming is man-made, the greenhouse effect and the effects of global warming.
