Environmental Controversy: Global Warming

Global warming is one of the environmental controversies that have created heated and prolonged debates in the 21st century. According to Archer (2012), global warning can be defined as the gradual increase in the average temperatures in the earth’s atmosphere and oceans and this has led to change in the world’s climatic conditions. This condition is believed to have been caused by environmental pollution due to fumes from industries that go a long way to deplete the ozone layer. Global warming will results to climate change is now responsible for raging storms, rising oceans and seas levels, severe droughts, floods, ferocious fires and searing heat. I feel strongly about this issue because it directly threatens our economies, health, communities and national security. There is a need to create government policies that will help in curbing global warming because it affects humanity. Governments around the world should join hands to get an immediate and lasting solution because it’s a global problem.
