Why should stopping global warming be a major priority?

Global warming or climate change is a term for increasing levels of Co2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. This is very harmful and it is much more prevalent than one may think. After the Industrial Revolution Co2 spiked, reaching new highs that were never broken within the last million, if not more years. We are constantly breaking new records for most Co2 or hottest day, and we need this to stop. Global warming is very dangerous and society needs to stop it as soon as possible.

Global warming will cause many disasters to happen. Many species will go extinct as they live on ice, which will melt over time. With no home, most if not all will die. The melting ice is also a problem as rising sea levels will cause many problems. There will be increased flooding which will damage homes and kill many people. Also, the world in general will be hotter, making life harder and more difficult. Not stopping global warming is a dangerous decision that could cost many lives in the long-run.

Stopping global warming is really simple, but it needs a lot of commitment and community support. As the government, switching from fossil fuels to solar, wind, or water would decrease the carbon footprint (the amount of Co2 one emits) by a lot. As an average human, try to refrain from using a car, take a bike, or even using public transport would help. Take quicker showers and turn off the lights, all of these are simple, but if everyone does them, it will make a huge difference. Everyone should try to decrease their carbon footprint because it is easy, simple, and makes a large difference.

In conclusion, we should stop global warming. It is very simple and easy, and it makes a big difference. There are major consequences if we don’t. We need to think about the future, not just about little political battles or personal trips. We need to take action now, before it is too late.
