How Is Global Warming Affecting Earth

Us humans created this problem and now because of us, Earth is dying. There are many reasons why global warming has become a huge problem. Burning fossil fuels, creating more Co2 (carbon dioxide), increasing greenhouse gases and chopping down trees without replanting. We have caused these things and now the chance of Earth dying is a real possibility.

Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature in Earth's climate system. For example, have you ever gone to a beach and were able to go to the furthest rock, but when you went back the next year that rock was always covered in water. That my friend is global warming. Over the past fifty years, the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history and it’s causing many things to change. Including the sea level to rise.

The causes of global warming are fatal and all together they are destroying Earth. Scientists have determined that the major factors creating global warming are greenhouse gases, land-use changes, burning fossil fuels and lots of other different human activities. Most of these causes are something we have created and are either doing nothing or nowhere near enough to stop the emissions causing climate change.

The effects of global warming are very dangerous. And because it is getting hotter New Zealand’s most popular tourism spot the glaciers are melting, causing sea levels to rise. It's not actually just them. All over the world icebergs are melting and Antarctica is slowly becoming more and more unstable. As Well as the sea on land, there is a huge fire in the Amazon that's been burning for months. And the amount of trees we have lost this year is happening over three times as fast as last year because of the change in Earth’s climate. And more trees are still being destroyed every minute.

In conclusion, global warming is one of Earth's biggest problems. But together we can make a difference. Unless you are one of those people who love to wreck our planet and make it worse for others.
