                                                    GLOBAL WARMING

One of the biggest problems facing the world today is global warming. Many people believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are heating the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human life and the planet. Many problems such as rising sea level, changes in weather patterns or a negative effect on animal and planet life could result from global warming. However, there are several things we can do to deal with these problems. One answer is to stop making CO2. We can do this by switching from oil, coal and gas to renewable energy. If we can reduce global warming in this way, temperatures will not increase so much. A second solution is to plant more trees and stop deforestation. If we do these, we can reduce global warming at a great scale because trees absorb CO2 and produce oxygen, which is not a greenhouse gas. A third idea is to use less energy and recycle more products. If we use less energy and are more environmentally friendly, the earth's temperature may not rise too much. In concluion, all solutions I mentioned above in the paragraph are sustainable to reduce global warming. Since making small changes now in the way we live means avoiding huuge changes in the future, it is essential to implement these solutions.
