What is truly causing Earth’s temperature to rise?
The biggest problem is that humans are allowing more
greenhouse gases to be emitted. These gases include: Nitrogen Oxide, Carbon
Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Methane. Carbon Dioxide is one of the dangerous gases
that was depicted in the video clip from class with Leonardo DiCaprio. This gas
comes from burning fossil fuels like oil and coal in particular. They say it is
hard to predict what might happen to each region of the Earth if it gets warmer.
The glaciers might melt, more evaporation may take place, and sea level may
rise. Now that we know that humans are a part of the problem, we need to fix
that. There are things that we can do besides educate and raise awareness. We
must act and start changing our ways before Earth becomes unpredictable.

What will happen if the ice melts around the world?
When temperatures rise, glaciers melt faster than they
can produce new snow. Over the last fifty years, glaciers have been melting at
a faster rate than ever before. If this continues, then the ice may completely
disappear. This can be harming to many species of animals who call the glaciers
their home. This will also make sea level rise, which can be extremely
dangerous to people living near these areas. Greenhouse gas emissions are the
ones causing this problem. The effects of glaciers melting will harm many
individuals and animals. It can also ruin many people’s sense of place. The glaciers
are a beautiful part of our world and we need to do whatever we can to save
them.

What will happen to crops if temperatures rise?
The extreme changes are causing crop loss. Weather
events that are abnormal in some areas are bringing in insects and diseases
that are unfamiliar to that region. Certain crops will no longer be able to
grow with rising temperatures. This causes farmers to have to change the way
they irrigate them or they have to find a new area to grow that specific crop. If
you think about it, crops that are unable to grow will cause farmers’ wealth to
decline. If they have no money, they cannot buy food or even grow any for that
matter. The consumer will also suffer because they will not be able to buy
crops from the farmers. Greenhouse gases that are causing this temperature change
will damage many crops in different regions, and individuals will suffer.
