Save Your Environment; Save the Planet

Carbon dioxide levels have increased a lot in the last 200 years. The global rate of ice melting on glaciers and in polar regions has been worse and worse since 1988.

The greenhouse effect is an important and necessary phenomenon that keeps all Earth's heat from escaping to the outer atmosphere. Without it, the temperatures on earth would be lower and the existence of life would be impossible.

On the other hand, too many greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere could increase the greenhouse effect. An increase in global temperatures changes in precipitation patterns could be the results, making some places impossible to live in.

If temperatures do indeed rise significantly, the most important result would be that some portion of the polar icecaps would melt, raising global sea levels. The rise in sea levels would be disastrous for some places. Islands would disappear; meaning their millions of inhabitants would have to relocate. Flooding would occur along coastlines all over the world

Some of the consequences of the rise of temperatures would be that some portion of the polar icecaps would melt, raising global sea levels. And this would be terrible for some places. Islands would disappear and flooding would occur along coastlines all over the world. This would be something terrible that may left a lot of people without home and without any kind of goods.

Strip mining poisons the water and leads to birth defects as wells as many additional problems. Clear-cutting deprives the earth of its natural defenses against global warming as well as increases the problem of landslides.

Getting metal, coal, etc by removing the earth from the surface of the ground poisons the water. Clear-cutting take from the earth its natural defenses against global warming and increases the problem of landslides. There are many ways to reverse man's affects on the planet. If we start now to be environmental conscious and teaching the youngest to follow us, we may be able to save the planet.
