Because of global warming being in effect for many years scientists have discovered that the world’ average temperatures have gone up over 7 degrees in some places. Some of the nations best man made lakes are even melting because of the lack of rain. In addition to temperatures going up, the greenhouse gas effect plays an enormous role in this process of the temperatures increasing. What the effect is doing is taking the sunlight and letting it enter the world freely. Then eventually the light bounces to the surface and back but gets stuck in the atmosphere and keeps the surfaces heat constant.

            Global warming is also bad for your health as well. Most people think of global warming by thinking heat stroke of a normal summer illness, but global warming can do much more than that. Like for instance in Baltimore, a heat wave killed over 30,000 people. But this event can do more than just hurt us people. It can hurt animals as well. For many years you have heard polar bears and other animals have been disappearing in the north, but actually animals to the middle and southern arias have been disappearing as well. Koala Bears have been disappearing because of the carbon dioxide pollution in the air. What it does is it gets stuck on the eucalyptus leaves in which the koalas eat. In addition killer bees aren’t  just leaving. AHB colonies were first reported in Arizona and New Mexico in 1993 and in California in October, 1994. In addition there is not only animals leaving and dieing. Deseases are spreading as well.  As the rise of temperature increases, it increases the loss of life.
