Speech: Global Warming is Real :: essays research papers

Hurricanes, Tsunamis, retreating glaciers, volcanoes and cyclones. What Im about to tell you is real and will change your life forever-so wake up and aspect the roses which are now blooming in winter. Global warming is one of the biggest threats to human kind. It is caused by the raising of soils temperature in the lower atmosphere. Since the industrial revolution the temperature has bygone up by 1 degree Fahrenheit of what it has averaged to be for centuries. Doesnt sound like much and your right, and for every degree it goes up already calciferol feet of snow wont fall. As in our earth is heating. The hottest enter temperature was in 2005 which matched the temperature in 1998. Twice in the last decade weve had the hottest temperature on average ever recorded throughout history. Coincidence. I think not. The snows of the Kilimanjaro have basically vanished and in a couple decades Glacier National park is going to need a new work because by 2030 there will be no glaciers left in the whole park. The great Greenland icecaps are melting at an alarming pace, and sliding into the sea. Your right, who cares its not like its happening near us. But by 2100 all our coastal states will look like Venice including ours. You won?t be alive but your children and grandchildren will. The sea level is expected to rise up to 23 inches in the next decade. There has been a 100 percent increase in fervency and duration of hurricanes and tropical storms since 1970 according to a 2005 MIT study. How much more evidence do we need before someone does something about this? For anyone who cares at all about the future, the gradual transformation of our earth is turning into a human-furnace that makes terrorism look like a game of monopoly. Think Im kidding? By 2050, 15-37% of all plant and beast species could be extinct. Meaning it will be harder for plants to produce photosynthesis. No big right? Wrong. Without photosynthesis, oxygen can?t be made. Most of us in this room w ill be in our late 60?s by then with children and grandchildren. What does that mean for them? The air will be harder to breath and the temperature of earth will have increased by 2 degrees Fahrenheit. By 2050 up to 38% of water will be unable to hold underwater species because of emergent temperature.
