Temperature

Here is a compelling statistic that might catch your eye. THROUGHOUT THE 20TH CENTURY, THE AVERAGE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EARTH HAS INCREASED BY 1.4 DEGREES FARINHEIT! This alarming statistic illustrates that there is a severe increase of temperature in the Earth's atmosphere. This is not good at all! Another vital statistic is that in the past fifty years, the temperature of Eastern Russia, Western Canada and Alaska has increased by 7 degrees farinheit. Temperature plays a key role in the ongoing global warming dilemna. With the dramatic increase in the Earth's temperature, certain ice glaciers throughout the world can slowly begin to melt. This is not something that people should ignore! Society is acting severely selfish by ignoring this problem. This increase in temperature will cause an increase in the sea levels. The Earth's sea levels have risen four to eight inches in the last century. The rise in the sea levels can ultimately cause severe flooding. I believe that this increase in temperature and the increase in sea levels is extremely chilling. The rising of temperature on this Earth will slowly begin to affect the human condition. Nature will begin to adapt to this change in temperature, but not in a good way. At least 279 different species have already migrated north to escape these rising temperatures. When will we begin to react to this problem? Or are we just going to sit around and wait for the devastating consequences.
