Global Warming by Rosech: 12:02pm On Aug 07, 2010
Global Warming is defined as the increase of the average temperature on Earth. As the Earth is getting hotter, disasters like hurricanes, droughts and floods are getting more frequent. But it is not only about how much the Earth is warming, it is also about how fast it is warming. Not all of global warming is the result of greenhouse gases and the ensuing greenhouse effect. As the population of the earth has increased mankind has brought civilization which includes buildings, highways, land cleared for agriculture, cities built where once stood deserts. Almost everything that we build absorbs more heat than its natural predecessor. It doesn’t mean that we tear down all of our houses to plant a forest of trees and carve up the superhighways and replace them with lovely green meadows. What we do need is an awareness of our situation. We need to realize that every move we make as a result of industrialization has a corresponding consequence. Some serious type of  marine pollution is nutrient pollution. Nutrient pollution causes many problems, including:
• Harmful algal blooms
• Hypoxic areas or "dead zones"
• Fish kills
• Loss of seagrass and kelp beds
• Coral reef destruction
• Eutrophication.

Scientists have been able to link previous global temperature fluctuations to the natural changing amount of carbon dioxide (carbon cycle).  However scientific evidence is now indicating that human activities such as burning coal, oil, gas, and the clearing and burning of forests have released too much carbon and other heat trapping gasses thereby disrupting the natural cycle. "But certainly the evidence we have today shows we do have global warming, and that most of this is due to human action,"

As the Earth is getting hotter and hotter, many europeans will not even be able to live under the sun, that’s the reason so many are getting melanoma, skin cancer from the rays of the sun.
