“We don’t know where
the global warming will stop,” he explains, “but the worst-case scenario is
that Earth would become like its sister planet, Venus, with a temperature of
250 [degrees] centigrade, and raining sulfuric acid. The human race could not
survive in those conditions.”

-- Human
actions are the cause of Global warming because it not only destroys our earth but it leads and
results to many more problems like depletion of the oceans habitat because of
the different shift in tides, destruction of marine life and increasing
chemicals in the ocean, and deforestation which causes mass species extinction
because the ecosystem where most of our animals are living is destroyed by the
immoral act of the people and wrong use of technology today. Also, the
continues rising temperature in the earth because of global warming will result
to a gradual decrease in population until the earth will become lifeless.

"Climate change is
the most pressing issue we face because it affects most aspects of our
environment, including the ocean and its wildlife."
- -- The oceans are a logical place to start
to understand how climate change is affecting our planet. The oceans have a
central role in protecting Earth. But ocean acidification which is damaging to
the many organisms that use calcium carbonate to build protective shells, rising sea levels and melting ice caps,
particularly in the polar region, are endangering our planet. Since water
circulates over the globe in a predictable pattern, changes in the great ocean
conveyor belt affect worldwide climate and the ocean’s inhabitants.
