CONCLUSION

Humans are being blamed for global warming. We have created the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming. We have created holes in the ozone layer by burning fossil fuels and everything else. The simplest solution would be for every person living in the world today to plant a tree. Trees are important tools in the fight to stave off global warming, because they absorb and store the key greenhouse gas emitted by our cars and power plants, carbon dioxide (CO2), before it has a chance to reach the upper atmosphere where it can help trap heat around the Earth’s surface. As trees grow, they remove carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. While fighting global warming, trees provide many benefits to all of us, every day. They provide cooling shade, block cold winter winds, attract birds and wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add grace and beauty to our homes and communities.

Over the past decades with urban sprawl and the deforestation of the forests, trees have been cut down at alarming rates. I say the rate of deforestation worldwide and the rate of global warming would run very close to each other. Everyone has been debating about whose to blame and causes of such devastation but no real solutions or steps are being taken. We continue to build new homes striping the land of all the trees. Global Warming is more of a recent problem because the earth has been absorbing our pollutants for many years now and we have finally polluted more than the earth can handle. It's shocking to know that the earth actually has its own ability to absorb and purify these quantities of pollutants. However, because we pollute the earth so much, it cannot keep up. Therefore, we, as citizens of this nation, have a responsibility to do what we can to stop global warming and its destructive consequences. We should always remember that, it is by working together that we may succeed. So, for everyone who wants to save mother earth and preserve its beauty for the next generations to come, let us not take things for granted and do something and initiate the change not tomorrow, but today.
