Global Warming

             Global Warming is something that has been going on now for a long time. Over the years scientists have been telling people, that all the pollutants that we put in the air were doing damage to the earth and the ozone. Some scientists disagreed with that statement and because of that there was nothing done in the past, but now scientists and people alike know what is happening to the ozone and are making a fight to try and get the government to do something about it. Throughout this research paper, I hopefully will be able to show and convince the reader of the dangerous outcome if we do not take action.
             Global warming is no new thing to scientists, they have known about it for many years. It is recorded that we have had the hottest ten years since nineteen eighty and the hottest year in nineteen ninty-eight. The scientist predict that rates of infectious diseases will rise, with the spread of mosquitoes and other disease carrying organisms that thrive in warm wet climates. Also the scientist think that more frequent and more severe heat waves will pose a threat to public health, with children and the elderly especially vulnerable. A few examples that have and can occur again are outbreaks of malaria in Michigan, Texas, Florida, California and New York, also there was two major heat waves in Chicago in 1995 and Dallas in 1998, the one in Dallas killed over 600 people. Some of the health problems that can occur that are not as drastic as malaria and death are, sever skin burns which could lead into skin cancer and in some cases lung problems. The scientist have figured out the chemical that does this damage, it is carbon dioxide which is the primary green house gas, and all most all of the carbon dioxide comes from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas which are used to make our lives easier.
             The effect of global warming on the earth, by what scientist say, is that warmer temperatures will speed evaporation, leading to drought in so...
