Introduction to Global Warming



The global warming is a serious problem. The scientists agree that global warming is real, it’s already happening and that it is the result of our activities and not a natural occurrence. Our life, our planet and our children are in real danger, unless we take steps now to control global warming.

The earth is protected by a thin layer of atmosphere which keeps temperature, air and water in balance to maintain life, but by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests and by building up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane we have increased the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As a result the temperature is rising.

This is a serious problem because the global warming effects our lives. The rise in the earth’s temperature causes more intense storms and hurricanes and many plants and animals are moving closer to the poles. We must do something to reduce or minimize the global warming or in the future many things will happen. For example, deaths will double in just 25 years to 300,000 people a year; sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet and more than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

I got some of the informations from : http://www.sierraclub.org/foundation/redirect/issues/globalwarming.asp?gclid=CKmq-rrgv5UCFQyvQwodFm1LRQ

From posted introduction about global warming, it gives a good description about the issue. In your post , you just mentioned greenhouses gasses and forests as a problem causer while you did not stated any information about industries pollutions and human population .Also you mentioned some numbers in your writing without any documentation about the source that you the information’s from .Furthermore , you did not suggest any solutions to control the problem.

You give me general idea about global warming in a good way. You explain how the global warming is happened which is increasing in carbon dioxide quality. The main cause of this problem is greenhouses. But I want to tell you about percentage of deaths has many causes not global warming only./salem rabei/H00062904/

As I see, you give a good introduction which conclude general idea abouth the Global Warming from the scientists version.Also,you explain what dose atmosphere layer do and you mention the most important reasons which increasing temperature.In addition of that You explain what will happen in the world if this situation cotinue.I think you give the whole idea about the causes of Global Warming and a simple explain for it
