global warming and rising sea levels

Tweet

Global warming is a real threat that is affecting everyone on earth and actually is threatening the very existence of entire countries and coastlines. Global warming occurs because of a rise in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the earth's atmosphere forming a 'blanket' that causes heat to be trapped in the earth's atmosphere. While some scientists blame this increase in CO2 because of volcanos, the majority of scientists blame this occurrence on the burning of fossil fuels by man to generate energy. Now my questions to you is do you think that the current heads of nations are fully aware and fully understand the predicament that we are facing? Are they aware that unless we find alternate sources of energy, we will be in alot of trouble? Do you think that enough restriction or controls are being implemented by these heads of states/goverments to curb the use of these fossil fuels? Do they understand that our generation and probably the next generation will begin to feel the adverse effects of our actions today and that future generations are probably the ones that will suffer the most? I think that every person has the responsibility of spreading the knowledge and that everyone has the right to be heard. Through peaceful talks and demonstrations, getting scientists to speak on our behalf, we should all petition the heads as to our concerns for our children and our children's children. We are the ones who can make the difference. I f we wait on the other person to do something about it, they might be waiting on you!!
