"Global Warming"

Dear Diary,
Base on a report, the country or the whole world is now experiencing a very hot temperature. Even if it is not summer time, the country still sweats a lot. And this could get hotter and hotter as summer will be coming. This is very dangerous. The ozone layer of the earth is having a hole. This is the reason why we are experiencing a very hot climate. And the hole gets bigger and bigger as the heat from the sun comes to earth. And also another reason why, is because the people do not care for their environment. They are very careless. They would just throw their garbages or waste chemicals anywhere especially those at the factory. Some of these goes to the sea, which contaminates the water. In these cases, sea creatures die, and when they die, people whose work or job depends on fishing, will surely loose everything. As the sea water goes above the clouds, they produce acid rain which is very dangerous to the environment.
Last week, we had a symposium about preventing the global warming. We were shown a video about Albert Gore Jr.'s sentiments and caring for the environment. I really idolize this guy. Not only he is smart but he has also o golden heart.
Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Models referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.[1] The uncertainty in this range results from two factors: differing future greenhouse gas emission scenarios, and uncertainties regarding climate sensitivity. Global average near-surface atmospheric temperature rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °Celsius (1.3 ± 0.32 °Fahrenheit) in the last century. The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations,"[1] which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are released by activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, and agriculture. Other phenomena such as solar variation and volcanoes have had smaller but non-negligible effects on global mean temperature since 1950.[2] A few scientists disagree about the primary causes of the observed warming. An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including a rising sea level and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. These changes may increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Other consequences include higher or lower agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors. Warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these events; however, it is difficult to connect particular events to global warming. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, even if no further greenhouse gases were released after this date warming (and sea level) would be expected to continue to rise for more than a millennium, since carbon dioxide (CO2) has a long average atmospheric lifetime. Remaining scientific uncertainties include the exact degree of climate change expected in the future, and especially how changes will vary from region to region across the globe. A hotly contested political and public debate also has yet to be resolved, regarding whether anything should be done, and what could be cost-effectively done to reduce or reverse future warming, or to deal with the expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at combating global warming.
So while there i still time, let us prevent the world from disasters. Let us learn how to clean the environment. By this way, we could already save the world.
