Global Warming

Global warming is a problem because the rising temperatures in the world are melting the polar ice caps and creating volatile weather patterns.  Melting polar ice caps are creating higher water levels, this causes flooding to occur more readily.  Volatile weather patterns are dangerous because areas that are not used to storms such New York  are receiving more hurricanes.

I believe that we should implement a zero tolerance on green house gases.  Firstly, we have the technology to have power without using fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a limited resource that will run out.  Secondly, we need the air to be cleaner so all of the animals and plants on this earth can be healthy.  Air pollution is causing children to get asthma at an alarming rate and our plants are not getting a chance to rejuvenate.  Finally, there is a lot of pollution free power sources available.  We have to be dependent on hydro, wind and solar energy. They are given to us from the Earth and do not destroy the Earth.

Global warming is a world problem that has to have drastic and serious measures taken.  The polar ice caps are necessary for our water levels to remain the same and we have to do everything possible to control our weather patterns.  I feel zero tolerance on green house gases is the best solution.  We need a more sustainable future.  If we do not do anything now, our children will suffer because of our actions.
