GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING
By Ian Berrocal A.

Global warming affects to all of us. Scientifics around the world has shown that the temperature of the water and air is increasing. One of the most important cause of global warming is the CO2 in the atmosphere. This substance keeps the radiation of the sun inside the planet; thus, the temperature has been slowly increasing since many years ago. In the other hand, there are many consequences of that problem. Some of them are the increase in the ocean level, more hurricanes, storms and rains. Rivers and lakes will experiment a reduction in their levels because there will be also more evaporation; otherwise, some rivers could disappear forever. In addition, the consequences are going to affect also the people’s health. There will be more respiratory diseases, infections caused by tropical mosquitoes like dengue and malaria, and some others. But there are still many actions that we can take to prevent and for avoiding these negative consequences. For that it is necessary to reduce the use of electric energy, to recycle, to reduce the consumption of water and to use the public transportation. The most important action that we have to take, is to be conscious of this problem and try to change our disinterested minds. It concern to all people in every where. Besides, more education, specially for children, is necessary. Reducing the negative consequences, will take some long time, so that is the reason why we should start the change now.
