climate change

Over the years we've been ignoring the obvious, that our climate is changing and soon if we don't do anything about it, it will be to late for our species. The global average temperature increased by more than 1.4°F over the last century. In fact, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the decade from 2000 to 2010 was the warmest on record, and 2010 was tied with 2005 as the warmest year on record. Rising global temperatures have also been accompanied by other changes in weather and climate. Many places have experienced changes in rainfall resulting in more intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves. The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced changes: oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. All of these changes are evidence that our world is getting warmer. With all this evidence i think its safe to say we need to do something before its too late. If the global average temperature is increased by 1.4 degrees in ten years then by 2100 the average temperature will be about 12 to 14 degrees higher making the planet almost uninhabitable for us. We need to do something about these big business pumping carbon into the atmosphere because with all that extra carbon it has to go somewhere so it pumps into the sea killing all the aquatic life and damaging their ecosystem.
