Global Warming Preventing
Anyone who believes there has not been proof for global warming has had their heads stuck somewhere recently, and it might not be in the clouds! Don't get me wrong – I'm not one of those starry-eyed liberals. For a long time, I myself didn't believe the proof of global warming. I had read all of the conservative documents against global warming proof, you see. There are a wide variety of creative attempts to discredit evidence of global climate change. For example, many people cite studies done more than a decade ago that suggested that we might actually face global cooling as a result of human activities. If they were wrong then, the skeptics ask, how do we know they're not wrong now?
The answer is simple. Global warming proof is everywhere. The science has gotten better, and even if there is a small chance that global warming isn't as severe as almost all scientists today agree it is, we can't afford to risk it. No matter where you live, you have probably noticed the strange weather recently. In many parts of the world, there have been heat waves, unusual floods or droughts, and even severe storms. What happened down in New Orleans was only the tip of the iceberg. And speaking of icebergs, had you better get a look at them while you have the chance. they might not be around for that much longer!
The moment I stopped doubting global warming proof was when I returned to our childhood ski resort. We used to go skiing every winter, and one of the highlights of the trip was a trek up to a magnificent glacier. Today, barely more than a decade later, that glacier has all but disappeared. The snow that used to stick all winter now only lasts a few weeks at a time, and many of the resorts in the area have closed permanently. We may not understand all the facts, but something is happening to our environment and it is up to all of us to become involved.
There are many ways to become involved in helping to stop global warming. Writing your congressman is one of the most simple, straightforward, and effective ways. If you want to go a step further, you can try to write opinion pieces in your local paper, attend protests, and most importantly, curb your consumption. Use less electricity, plant more trees, and try to use alternative modes of transportation. We have all the global warming proof we need. Now is the time for action!
