Global warming is the overall increase in the atmospheric temperature of the earth. It is believed that this was brought on by the green house affect; ie. the gases that accumulate and allow solar radiation to enter the atmosphere, and then become trapped. All of which cause more heat. The main green house gases are carbon dioxide, fossil fuels, and animal waste. These are caused by pollution. Global warming is a side affect of this, which we are to blame. This is one of the biggest problems to date with our pollution, and eventually it could lead to humans dying because of the extreme heat .Of course, that won't be for a while, but there is no telling especially at the rate humans are increasing their carbon footprint. This problem is going to be more prevalent in the future unless we decrease our waste and carbon output, which in turn will slow down our future death. This is more than an issue of being too hot as well, global warming can lead to excess flooding, the disappearance of countries because of the floods, and crops and wildlife would also be affected. All of which affect us because obviously, we live on land, and we eat crops and wildlife. We need to take immediate action to reduce pollution, and keep the future in mind. Because everything we are doing in the present is going to affect our future and whether it is healthy or not, and if we are going to have one.

I never really knew anything about global warming before, even though people are always talking about it. Since it's such a serious problem, it's weird that people aren't doing enough to solve the problem so things will be better in the future.
