MS: The Worldwide Warm

You’ve probably heard of a man-made disaster called global warming. This is caused by greenhouse gases that weaken the atmosphere, causing the sun’s heat to come through. This causes the world’s temperature to rise and causes glaciers in the arctic to melt, resulting in rising sea levels.

Will the planet be doomed because of this? It depends. If we are more cautious about this issue and make slight changes to our daily lives, then it is possible to slowly reverse this problem. But, if we keep living our lives as we are, eventually we will see more dramatic changes.

Some things that you can do to help prevent global warming are pretty simple. Walking or biking instead of driving a car to places, eating less meat, unplugging unused appliances and electronics, replacing incandescent light bulbs with more efficient ones, planting trees etc. These are just a few of many ways you can help.

As humans, we are bound to make mistakes. This is one slip up that may have a catastrophic effect on the environment, but eventually the earth will heal. It may take thousands or millions of years, but it will, one day. We may or may not be gone when that happens. It is dependent on whether we make changes that we may not want to, or continue our lives as normal. If we choose to be aware of our actions, future generations will get to enjoy their time on earth like we do now.
