                       Global Warming

In this paper I will discuss whether or not global warming is actually happening or

not. A lot of people say that it is not and some people that it is. I will state my

opinion, with some references. I will use the book and also the Internet for my

references. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s

atmosphere and oceans. I think that the definition says it all.

In my opinion I think that global warming happens because of how the weather was

last year, how we hardly got any snow and Europe and the other side of the country

got feet of snow. The book says that between 1906-2005 the average temperatures

increased by .74 degrees. I think that this is true since Utah and in the North

American states, have been really different.

It was because of global warming that last year we didn’t have a lot of snow or

precipation. The other side of the country got a lot more snow than the United

States. The climates are getter warmer as per the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report.

The report states with increased temperatures the risk of species extinction will

increase.

The icebergs are melting. The book says that the ice caps and glaciers have

decreased in both hemispheres. I think that global warming is happening because of

how the world is today. Whenever The Weather Channel says that we are supposed

to get a lot of precipation, the other side of the country gets it.
The arctic temperatures have been increasing the last 100 years that is twice the

global rate. The temperatures are getting warmer. Even right now in the United

States, the temperatures are warmer we should be colder now and we are warmer.

The temperatures in Utah are above average right now; we are about 5-10 degrees

warmer than we should be at this time in the year. This trend will stop this week in

Utah since we will be in the 40’s and 50’s this week, with a couple of days with

precipation. Global warming is happening everywhere you go, that is why they call

it global warming, because the earth is getting warmer.

In conclusion, Global warming is happening, whether we like it or not. There is a lot

of evidence for this. The temperatures are getting warmer. I think that if this goes

on which I think it will, the chance of the earth drying up will happen. I hope that

that will not happen, so that the animal will not be extinct like the dinosaurs are.
