Social and Environmental Issues: Global Warming By Darren Sim

Global warming is a case when greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. What happens during Global warming? During Global warming, the release of greenhouse gases makes the earth warmer. Factories release lots of greenhouse gases when they use electricity which is made from burning oil. Burning coal and fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases. Deforestation adds on to Global warming as burning down trees not only produce greenhouse gases, but also reduce the number of trees that could take in greenhouse gases for making food. Greenhouse gases trap heat on our planet and not allowing them to escape, like a greenhouse. Some animals like the polar bear are near extinction because of global warming. The heat melts the ice caps and therefore the polar bears lose their home. Global warming is destroying our planet rapidly. Copenhagen is affected badly. We all need to do our part to save earth. Reuse, reduce and recycling is a great way to tackle deforestation. Using less electricity can help reduce the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If possible, you could start your very own garden and get fresher air to breath everyday! We must all do our part to save planet earth!!!
