A Greener Earth
The article "Earth Gets Greener as Globe Gets Hotter" was about the effects of climate change and global warming of plant growth. Areas that had been covered in ice or sand are now covered in green foliage. Scientists have concluded that the increase in carbon emissions has also increased the amount of plants (2x’s the size of the US). The increase in growth could have some unforeseen consequences, the researchers say. It can eventually change the cycle of water and carbon, ultimately interrupting the cycle. Past studies have shown that carbon dioxide increases plant growth by increasing the rate of photosynthesis.
Before reading this article I knew the issues regarding Excess CO2 emissions. The topics of global warming, melting glaciers, rising sea levels are all extremely relevant. It seems that as the years pass, more issues with the environment arise. When levels of carbon dioxide are increased, there is bound to be an effect. Carbon dioxide that is being released from human sources is becoming a larger issue looking into the future.
Personally, I feel that the carelessness of people will eventually lead to larger issues in the future. There are many things that can be done to avoid adding carbon dioxide or any harmful gasses (or any pollution) to the earth. There is no way anyone can travel back in time and undo something done in the past. People are aware of the issues facing the Earth, and should feel encouraged to make a difference in any way they can.
QUESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
1) What are scientists and environmentalist doing in order to spread awareness of issues regarding climate change?
2) What are some other negative effects of these climate changes (not regarding any of the mentioned topics)?
