Global Warming has become quite an alarming issue in the past decade, although most people don't find it directly affecting their everyday lives. This is the reason not much is being done about it. Some people are in complete denial of this phenomenon, while others are positive it is happening. I personally believe global warming is happening and my argument is to prove global warming exists. It exists because of society's everyday habits to use natural resources at an increasing rate. We must do something about it or our planet is doomed. Our world is a very finite planet on which we run a linear system (Annie Leonard). In other words, planet earth has limited natural resources; we are using those natural resources up more and more at a steady, increasing rate each year. By using these natural resources we contribute to global warming on a daily basis.
             Global warming has numerous effects on planet earth. These include rising temperatures throughout the globe, melting of the ice caps causing rise in sea levels, ecosystems experiencing dramatic change, and more frequent droughts and floods. You can see how these eventually could lead to the extinction of life on earth as we know it. There are many reasons why global warming is happening but there are two primary reasons for it. The two major contributing factors to global warming are the emission of man-made greenhouse gases and deforestation across the globe. They are proving to increase the average global temperature of earth, therefore supporting the theory of global warming.
             The emissions of man-made greenhouse gases are the biggest contributing factor to global warming. It wasn't until the Industrial Revolution when this all started. All of the major greenhouse gases have increased in concentration since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (Pidwirny). The Greenhouse Effect is a proven theory that is highly correlated with global warming. The Greenhouse Effect...
