Global Warming: The Beginning of the End of the Human Race
I. Introduction
A. First sentence that catches attention
1. Imagine standing in the middle of a scorching hot dessert, that was previously a luscious rain forest, breathing in carbon dioxide and soaking in 10,000 times as much radiation as is needed to cause cancer. Unimagine right? Well not so unimaginable because according to scientist at NASA, if the earth’s ozone continues to disappear at the rate it is, the scenario mentioned is a possibility by the year 2065.
B. Define global warming-
1. “ Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere” (Overview: Weather, Global Warming and Climate Change, 2019).
C. Thesis: Global warming is very harmful to human health on the surface and internally.
II. The changing climate due to global warming is damaging to humans because it damages the largest organ we have, an organ that is our first level of protection. The human skin.
