My Opinion on Global Warming

Everybody has a opinion on Global Warming. Some people say it's not happening. Some say it is; but its not a threat. Many people say Global Warming is occurring. Many people say the effects of Global Warming are very pressing issues for humanity today.

This is my opinion. I Think that Global Warming is occurring and that the repercussions of it are very serious issues that our government has to take into account. I believe that more carbon/ greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere. I believe that increased greenhouse gases from carbon dioxide and fossil fuels are warming the globe and in effect changing our climate. Our climate should be going into a glacial period, with the global temperatures become cooler; but instead our climate is warming. Global Warming is accelerating and the repercussions of it are effecting us today.

In conclusion I think that global climate change has occurred many times in the history of the earth for varying reasons. There has never been a climate change as fast as the one we are experiencing now. Humans are contributing to it, and, as such, we should help slow it back to a regular pace. Our governments have to start seeing this problem as a real threat. We need to put money behind finding solutions and putting shorter deadlines for when goals must be completed. We need to create a reward system for governments who meet requirements and so on. If we don't do it now, it will just become harder or impossible to do later.
