Global warming is a recurring problem in the news lately, but not everyone realizes the extent of its impact. impact on the Earth. A space between sentences The climate of the entire world is changing. Climate change is happening naturally, but now humans aren't just causing it, they're accelerating it. Scientists believe our use of fossil fuels is causing global warming (Musgrave). If the world's 6.6 billion people change a few daily habits, we may be able to slow the effects of global warming and extend the life of our fossil fuels. As the temperature of the atmosphere gradually increases, it wreaks havoc on the planet. glaciers, rainforests and many other natural habitats. The number of rainforests is decreasing significantly every year due to climate change and people destroying them for lumber or industrial development. This destruction puts many species at risk due to the destruction of their habitat. But this destruction does not only affect animals that live in forests. Rainforests provide massive amounts of oxygen to the air. Wait – big step forward here. One of the main causes of ozone depletion is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the air daily. Since plants absorb CO2 and release oxygen, the more trees and plants we destroy, the more CO2 there will be in the atmosphere. This will ultimately lead to further depletion of the ozone layer and the effects of global warming will continue to impair the Earth's ability to sustain life. So far you have managed to establish the problems with the ozone layer. But you need a transitional sentence to connect this to...... middle of paper ......om.ezproxy.apus.edu/Considering this article was written for children, it contained actually a lot of information and good definitions in there. He focused on what might happen to certain species of animals and explained exactly what certain terms mean. It was easy to understand what could happen and what caused it. Marshall, Bob. “Hot spots”. Field & Stream: WINTER DOUBLE ISSUE December 1, 2007: 39. Research Library. ProQuest. APUS Virtual Library System. Nov 28, 2007This article is about the destruction of wildlife habitats and how it could affect our environment if global warming does not slow down in the near future. He talks about some of the changes already made to the hunting and fishing seasons. It also reminds us of melting glaciers and how rising temperatures and sea levels could be detrimental to the earth..
