Life and Dry

Forest destruction and converting land, made the green house effect become true more fast in the last decade. Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century. Over the last five years, 600 scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sifted through thousands of studies about global warming. The scientific community has reached a strong consensus regarding the science of global climate change. The world is undoubtedly warming, and the warming is largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities. Pollution, especially from cars and from making electricity, is a major cause of global warming. Global warming and climate change issues are perhaps the greatest threat to this planet.
For several years believers and skeptics have argued about the causes of global warming. The problem is complicated because believers warn that man-made causes if left to advance too far may be irreversible. Reduction of the rainforests, continued growth in hydrocarbon industries, increases in livestock, and depletion of the ozone are all considered factors in the debate. Skeptics maintain that the climate change is a natural phenomenon, that man's effect on nature is largely overrated. The fact is that for several years, the earth's temperature is rising. The problem remains in deciding what if anything we can do about it.
