For the past few years, science has been stating that global warming is here and that it will destroy our Earth and US if we’re not careful! But for real, as citizens of Earth how aware are we about global warming? Do you feel like you really know what’s going on? Do you feel like our nation is promoting awareness about this serious environmental issue? And can you believe that some people still don't believe that global warming is real?
These are the many questions that strike the American population today as we begin our fight against global warming. But honestly how are we supposed to go to war against greenhouse gases and pollution if no body tells us what’s going on here? Unfortunately, many Americans don’t know the facts about global warming! Research has shown that as Americans we make up 5% of the world’s population but we also produce about 25% of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Yeah I bet you didn’t know that! Well don’t feel bad if you didn’t; many people still don’t realize that the United States is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases. But in the future we could become one of the biggest allies for preventing the effects of global warming. Now that sounds like a plan!
In my opinion, the United States has been trying to increase its efforts to bring awareness to global warming because it is finally becoming a pressing issue. It has only been in the past few years that as the temperatures around the world have become significantly hotter that we have decided to make a conscientious effort to become aware of this environmental epidemic. But research has shown that global warming has been going on for years but it’s only now that we’ve decided to pay attention to nature’s signs. See Mother Nature has been warning us for a while…but the big bad US decided not to listen. Maybe we should have listened sooner?
But how are we letting the world know what’s going on? And how do we let people know that they CAN make a difference? Well as science is becoming more informed about this issue of our globe, other aspects of our culture have been making an effort to promote awareness. For example, more celebrities and music artists are using their talents and existing fan base to bring awareness about global warming and how it's definitely getting “hot in here!” Politicians have also been using global warming as one of their major campaign promises. But the only person who can truly prevent global warming is YOU! If each person does his or her share, then our goal for a greener global environment will be more successful! So are you with me? Let’s go GREEN!

This issue really shows whether people are willing to be unselfish for a greater cause or want everything for themselves. It is a battle of primitive instincts and reason to see if we can protect the world from some of the horrible effects that people say can happen because of global warming.
Do you believe others when they say that the warming is part of the natural cycle of the Earth of the greenhouse gases have no effect on global warming?
Very Insightful!
Joe Smith,
Honestly, I do not believe people who think that this warming is part of the natural cycle of the Earth because it would have happened sooner. For example, all our seasons happen each year at certains of year, if this "warming" were a natural cycle it would have happened already in the past and frequently. But research has shown that this warming is not a cycle but a continued pattern of the Earth becoming increasing warmer each year. Another reason why I believe this is not the case is the fact that the Poles are melting like never before. If this was a natural cycle then the Poles would not be affected in the same that they are now. The fact that the Poles are melting shows that this warming is not expected and clearly not a natural process.
But really good question!
