Quarter 3 Post 7- Global Warming

M., Tim. "Think climate change won’t affect you, Snow Person? Wrong.". Heresy Snowboarding. 21 February 2009 .

global warming is really bad for our planet. it causes a lot of negative effects. a lot of people think that its not going to affect us because its not that bad yet but it is and it does. This year the siberian tundra has been really warm which is bad because the permafrost thaws and releases tons CO2 and methane into the atmosphere. the added CO2 would make global warmning even worse. Scientists have been warning about global climate change for a long time. NASA first starting bringing up the topic in the early 80's and now organizations like the UK MET, NASA, Australian CSIRO and Bureau of Meterology, are all saying that global warming is happening. Despite all the proof of global warming many people still aren’t worried about it. But the truth is that many people are noticing how the weather is acting funny and that everyday there is more evidence supporting climate change. If we start rapidly changing the amount of our emissions in 2010 they will decrease 47% by 2050, start slowly changing the amount of our emissions in 2010 they will return to the same levels from 1990 by 2050, if we start slowly decling our emissions in 2030 there will be a 76% increase in the amount of emissions by 2050, and if we do nothing by 2050 the amount of emissions will have increased by 132%. We need to start doing something about global warming now so that we don’t destroy the earth for later generations.
