Is global warming really an environmental problem? I think it is a problem, but I do not think it is as big of a problem as was once believed. I think humans are constantly hurting our environment without even meaning to harm it. People do things without thinking of the long term effects of their actions. Global warming is believed to be an increase in the global temperature because of an increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. These gases increase because of humans' mistreatment of the environment. Global warming is believed to be causing more extreme weather conditions and an increase in sea levels. Experts believe that even a 2 degree increase will impact biodiversity, agriculture, and oceans. Some research predicts that global warming will have a major impact on the animal population, forests, and marine life. I do believe humans are harming the environment, but I am not totally convinced it is actually global warming. I think there is a lot of good reseach to support it, but I think it is very hard to predict the extent of environmental damage and long term effects. Whether global warming is a problem or not, I think everyone would agree that we all need to do a better job protecting our environment.
