Math Connects to Global Warming

Global warming is racing around the world creating so many different changes. This problem alters the temperatures. In most parts of the world, like the arctic, the temperatures are rising at a rapid pace. The temperature fluctuations can be very dangerous to many places in the world. Also, percents relate to global warming when scientist talk about the percentage of polar ice that is being lost each year or the percentage of animals species that could become endangered or extinct in the next years. Each year the percentage of these numbers increases causing an increased effect on the natural world. Most of the effects are happening on the natural world, but they are being created in the man-made world. The amount of pollutants in the atmosphere is such a large number, and each day a certain amount more is being released. Global warming has so many aspects of it that can be directly related to math, like temperature, percents, and simply numbers.

Global Warming

Global warming is an issue that has been present in our society for a while. Since humans are releasing such a large amount of carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere, it's causing the Earth to heat up at a rapid pace. Although this issue is effecting humans, it has a greater effect on the helpless animals and their environments. In the arctic, polar ice ice is melting destroying habitat and hunting ground for animals, like polar bears. Also, the gases are causing the oceans to raise effects beaches and small islands. As humans we can create different materials to help our society control the effects of global warming. But unlike us, the animals don't have the ability to adapt like humans.

This problem was created by humans, and we have the power to stop it. Global Warming is destroying most of the beautiful and natural creations on our Earth. We need these things to be around for a long time, because, although we may not see it everyday, the creations in nature help us survive and live the lives that we do. Global warming is something that has to be reversed to insure the sanity of our planet!
