Fixed Introduction

According to the National Wildlife Federation, in the lifetime of a child, 20-30 percent of the world's species including plants and animals, will be affected by global warming and on the verge of becoming extinct. This is a staggering statistic and shows that global warming is a big environmental problem. Global Warming is defined as an increase of average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a continual increase that causes the climate to actually change. An increase in the earth's temperatures overtime due to an increase of greenhouse gases that is resulting from pollution will cause climate change and lead to global warming. (Global Warming) This is a very well documented problem and over the last few years global warming has gotten worse. Knowing what causes global warming and the effects of it can help us fix the problem before the earth is harmed greatly. This leads me to believe that everyone should be informed about the causes of global warming, how it effects our environment and human life, and lastly what we can do to either stop or slow down this process. There are many misconceptions of global warming that people believe. They are not informed and feel that global warming is not occurring or will not affect them in their lifetime. This is very untrue, we know that global warming is occurring and has already had multiple effects on the earth. These include harming animals and their habitats and our general environment. This problem should be on everyone’s minds because it is accelerating and actually becoming worse. Since this is a problem, many scientist have studied it deeply and have built up a lot of information that can help us better understand this environmental problem. As someone living on this earth that will be affected by global warming, I want to do something about it. If lowering the causes of global warming by decreasing human pollution will help, I believe everyone should work harder to do so. If polluting the earth less will help save our environment and our human lives, why wouldn’t we work on a solution to stop global warming? In this paper I will touch on what we are doing to stop or slow down global warming. Knowing all of this meaningful information will help us see what we are doing to our environment and how harmful global warming can be on us people and our world.
