Global warming - Apocalypse or just an exaggeration?
Title: Global warming - Apocalypse or just an exaggeration?
Author: Clint Jhonson

The constant climate change is a fact that we just can't
disregard anymore. As unreal as it may sound, the world may soon
end and we have some fault whereas these changes are concerned.
Global warming is something that can't be controlled as easily
as one might think, having a dreadful effect all over the world.
The catastrophic results reflect on the biodiversity of the
planet and its eco-systems.
In order to attract people's attention, many "festivals of life"
and other similar campaigns have been organized in order to save
Mother Earth. But campaigns, commercials, experiments... they
are all useless when it comes to climate change. Responsible for
this situation are indirectly greenhouse gases and directly the
human race. In order to remediate this problem, the Kyoto
protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan on 11 December 1997. The
international agreement was signed by several countries (with
well-developed industries), all agreeing on the importance of
reducing greenhouse gases that have led to climate change.
All this trouble could have been avoided if the emissions of
these gases would have been interdicted since their first
appearance, but people are greedy and they always put money
before ecology, not realizing that as rich as you may be, it
means nothing... if the air that surrounds us is not breathable.
Although it is quite late, the solution remains the same and
could still be put in practice in order to save what is left of
nature, and that is: stopping the emission of greenhouse gases.
But what are people constantly thinking about? Ecology? Of
course not! Economy! Are they thinking that with the daily
burning of new fossil fuels, the Amazon forest that sustains
life on Earth is dying a little bit more and more? It's hardly
likely!
Global warming is a real problem and one that should be tackled
with more seriousness. What we have seen in movies like
"Armageddon", "The Apocalypse", "The end of the days", "The
core", etc, is becoming more and more a possibility. Maybe it
won't happen now, but in 20-25 years or something... who knows?
In their attempt to stop climate change, a lot of scientists
have repeatedly said that it is a "must" to develop forests, as
many and as big as possible. This is the only way of
reconstructing the ozone "blanket". We all know that this gas -
the ozone - is one of the most important gases that exist in the
Earth's atmosphere. The ozone has the very difficult task of
blocking the harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching the Earth's
surface and it also helps the temperature of the Earth's surface
to stay warm enough.
Global warming is the single most destructive force hurting our
planet. The industrial revolution of the past two centuries has
taken a toll on our planet's wild life and environmental
infrastructure due to mankind's destructive behavior. Global
climate change is obvious in all corners of the Globe, from
melting polar ice caps to ozone depletion. The theory behind
this phenomenon is that the Earth receives heat from the Sun;
the Sun gives off the heat in the form of radiation in which the
Earth absorbs 70%, which warms the surface and the oceans, while
the remaining 30% is reflected into space.

Climate change due to href="http://www.skywink.com">global warming is not
reversible now. But there is something that we can do though: to
minimize its effects. So I strongly advice all of you to
sacrifice a little now, which will surely make a big difference
in the years to come. Pay us a visit and find out more on the
subject!
