Global Warming is a very serious issue in the world. The burning of fossil fuels is to blame for this because they release their deadly carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Scientists say they are 99 percent sure the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to global warming. They predict global warming temperatures we arise from 2.5 to 10.4 degrees in the next hundred years. The prediction also show more droughts, floods, and rising sea levels. Many states and people are taking precautions to reduce the amount of fossil fuels and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. 12 states are starting processes to reduce the amount of fossil fuels being used and the amount of pollution we let enter the atmosphere.Congress will also talk about these problems about global warming upcoming soon. In 2001 reports claimed that the sea level would rise from 3.5 inches to 34 inches! Global warming needs to be held back and to do this we must cut back and our burning ans usage of fossil fuels.

ReplyDeleteIf we reduce the amount of fossil fuels being burnt, will the predicted rise in temperature over the next years begin to decrease?
ReplyDeleteBesides the burning of fossil fuels, do you think that there is any other main contributors to the rise in global warming?
ReplyDeleteHow does global warming have to do with the cause of more droughts, floods, and rising sea levels?
ReplyDeleteI feel that global warming is a major issue that must be dealt with as soon as possible. It is a very big problem that our temperatures are rising every year and that the sea levels are also rising too due to the melting of polar ice caps. If we do not invest in less burning of fossil fuels and more clean energy, we may be able to reverse the effect of global warming that is being given off on the world around us.
