Global Warming Threat

Recently many news stories have focused on the looming threats of global warming and the disasterous heat that it's producing. The rising heat is detrimental to humans, animals, plants, and the ecosystem as a whole. The average global temperature has risen a couple degrees in the past 100 years. Many scientists are attributing the major cause of this rise to an increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations. Natural causes have caused some of the temperature increase. It looks as though major global disasters such as flooding, drought, and famine are in store for those in the not so distant future. These disasters will most likely happen eventually. Regardless of humans, the Earth will heat up to an uninhabitable state eventually. Though that time can probably be postponed for a long time if people will stop contributing to greenhouse gas concentrations in such a high volume. It is ironic that the fuel that we burn, such as coal and oil, that contributes to global warming is putting the toxic gases back into the atmosphere that were once leached from the the atmosphere and put into the ground by the ecosystem. Hopefully with this new Presidency there will be some headway made for the implementation of cleaner energy.
