Global Warming poses threat to humans


By Kenny Ingham

Global warming is happening and has been happening for some time. Many things are happening like sea levels rising, temperatures going higher, and glaciers melting. We must help the planet from getting too hot.

We can do so much already, like using energy efficient light bulbs, walk or bike to school if it isn’t extremely far away, or even use less water when you take a shower. Try to do these things and you can save the Earth from getting too hot.

It all started in the mid 20th when cars and factories started appearing. Back then some scientists thought it was a hoax, but now they know it’s real. Even though now some countries are unaware of global warming, it is a big event because already green house gasses are being trapped in the atmosphere and are slowly destorying the ozone layer that protects us from the sun’s harmful rays. There is already a hole in the ozone over Antarctica, which is why we must help save the Earth.

I interviewed Mr. Bloommendahl because he’s a geography teacher so he should know some things.

Q1: How are you helping the Earth?
A: “I use energy efficient light bulbs throughout my home.”
Q2: Do you recycle?
A: “Yes I do recycle.”
Q3: How much do you know about global warming?
A: “A great, great deal of it.”
Q4: What does it really mean to go green?
A: “I think it means being conscious of the planet.”
Q5: Do you know any interesting facts about global warming?
A: “Americans make more trash per person then anyone on Earth.”

So why don’t you do your part and help the Earth? You have already seen what it does, so help the earth out. Get started today!
