Scientists have been debating for decades if global warming is real. Global warming is a man made effect on the environment that gradually has increased the temperature in the past years. This is called the green house effect. "The green house effect is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants." It is like a blanket that keeps getting thicker and thicker. The main cause of this is CO2 from cars, trains or planes. The main source of CO2 is cars.
Global warming doesn't create natural disasters, but it can make them stronger and more dangerous. Because the ocean is getting warmer, tropical storms can get more energy and become more powerful. So global warming could turn a category 3 storm into a much more dangerous category 4 storm. Scientists have found that the destructive potential of hurricanes has greatly increased along with ocean temperature over the past 35 years. It is not only making natural disasters stronger but is also melting the ice caps at a rate of 9 percent per decade.
Now there are ways we can help with Global warming like turn off lights when you are not using them. We can reduce the amount of CO2 by using hydrogen, hybrid or electric cars. Or even use a bike instead of a car! We should all start to help stop global warming!
