An inconvenient truth

We only have one Earth of what we know as humans. That is why we all need to protect it. Says Al Gore Author of  "An inconvenient truth". Al talks about how over time ( with pictures of course!) how the world has been changing. One of his first pictures he shows is a mountain ( Mount Kilimanjaro) in Tanzania, 1970. Full of snow and big puffy snow clouds around it. But then in 2005 over 35 years almost all of the snow is gone plus no clouds so it looks like a very big hill. That's not just the one cases there are 181 pages to this book talking more about cases and why we should do something about it. Plus hundreds if not thousands of more books talking about that and the internet! There is so much evidence out there it's not even funny. You can even look for it! But people do miss what is right in what's in front of there eyes. But how really important for us to know what we are doing to the world?

How is the Earth getting warmer? What I found out in the book that our greenhouses are putting gases in our atmosphere that hold in heat such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which is not good. The sun's energy will be soaked up by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. But when too much of the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere that is how global warming is made. So it is heating up our globe. If you happen to say "who cares if it's getting hotter that means hotter nicer summer days".

 All of that is wrong. It effects everything around us. Animals, plants, us and almost everything. Habitats for animals and plant would gone the plants that would live of the environment would be dead so when that one animal needs to eat that plant it can't eat so that animals dies and then the animal that would live off of that animals would die and then so on. Like have you heard on the news or somewhere that you can see the polar bears standing but there but there's no ice for them to stand on. It's a perfect example.

The bears habitat is going away because the gases with the suns heat is melting the ice for the bears so more and more are dying. And plants and animals aren't the only ones going to take a hit. If most of the north and south poles are melted  Florida will be 2/5 of flooded underwater. It's not just Florida that's going to get it it's also all around the world too.

But if that does happen some people will relies that you don't know how much you have until you lose it. And they should have tried to stop it. But I do hope that I gave you some information about Global Warming and it could be nice to know for the future. Bad things mother nature will bring on us that day and "no" it will not be a hot summer day if we do not do anything about it now bad thing can and will happen. And I just do my best to do the share of the work to try to help out. It's pretty crazy if you think about it. But anything is possible.
