Global warming is the process of the Earth's surface heating up. It is caused by human activities, specifically fossil fuel burning. We need to stop climate change before it rips us apart. This global occurrence can cause hotter temperatures, more severe storms, increased amounts of droughts, melting of icecaps, and more events that would be devastating to our planet. The Natural Resources Defense Council says, "Today's scientists point to climate change as the biggest global health threat of the 21st century." There isn't much that we can do, but any small act helps. You can try to walk or bike more, instead of driving. You could compost food scraps and recycle plastic to keep our landfills clean. In 2023, global warming is increasingly killing humans and trees, and is forcing almost half of the animal kingdom out of their homes. It is deadly, diseased, and no good for our lives. Global warming will warm up the planet and then, only then, will the world realize that this is real.
