Global Warming Caused by HumansAriel PadillaStanley WeissEnglish Composition Class 122August 7, 2015  Global warming is the reason on why we are having such extreme climates. Having this change has caused many issues for the environment and the creatures on the planet. I think it is humans fault for creating global warming. We as human beings created a greenhouse effect by manmade fuel. It is our responsibility to fix the issue to the best of our ability. Crowded landfills, polluted water, and poor air quality are just a few of the environments problems that affect both countries and food. These are the signs that we have done more harm than good to the planet.  (Global 2015) Human activities have increased the levels of other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For example, various farming and engineering activities, such as the use of certain fertilizers, produce nitrous oxide. Methane releases come from the production of fossil fuels, landfills, and from livestock. (Global 2015) These gases may cause even more harm than carbon dioxide, even though less of them exist, because they have a much greater effect per pound on the earth’s temperature. Methane, for example, is a greenhouse gas twenty-one times as potent as carbon dioxide. (Global 2015). If we limit are use of methane that would take a step to lessen the greenhouse effect that is has created.it would as benefit us and other generations in the long run. Although it is understand able that it would be an adjustment to be able to find another product to supplement the methane. That is still at a reasonable price for business owners.Global warming is a hot topic among many but specifically political parties and scientists. However with so much information that is being gathered by scientists, the governments political parties are still is having trouble in deciding the course of action for this issue. With global warmings the dramatic climate changes has harmed more parts of the world then helped. I believe that we need to try to fix the issue before it get out of hand. (Global 2015) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that greenhouse gas releases in the United States dropped 1.6 percent from 2010 to 2011. However it also dropped about 7 percent since 2005. The United States attributed the drop to automobile fuel efficiency improvements as well the increased use of natural gas throughout the country. President Barack Obama in 2013 pledged to continue reducing the country’s greenhouse gas releases (Global 2015). If we continue on this track we could slowly eliminate the greenhouse effect. If we could not eliminate it then we may be able to minimize the extent of its effects on are planet. (Climate Vol.1)Examples of the effects of global warming is Non-human life beings will be affected by the climate change. The change would be much too fast for most plants and animals to adapt to or avoid. Although migration would be a possibility in theory, no migration routes would likely be available for most plants and animals because the developed world would be so populated (Climate Vol.1). My thinking is to have the animals and plants to not be able to adapt means that humans will die. If this was to pass it would create a food shortage. In addition the food shortage may start in one part of the world but it is only as matter of time that it extends to others. If we created a section of the world that was dedicated to animals and plants so that they could adapt to the new climate. We wouldn’t have a food shortage but it also allows the plants to clean up the pollution that is in the air. Another example of the effects of global warming is (Grossman 27) Ice-albedo occurs as increased warming diminishes snow and ice cover, making the planet darker and more receptive to absorbing incoming solar radiation, causing warming, which further melts snow and ice (Grossman 27).  It has brought the seasons that much more sooner than what we normally expect them to arrive. It is bring season’s weather stronger and earlier in different parts of the world. If it continues on this track the weather with be in opposite locations. It will create problems for people that aren’t fully prepared for what they are receiving. Recently California became in a level 3 drought and to receive heavy down pour would flood are streets and cause landslides.
