As an avid lover of Nature, Space and Science. I decided to write something that I truly care about and am worried about.

Global Warming.

Some people truly believe that global warming is just a myth, and is not true. Even though the evidence is everywhere, This year July 2016, 

Was The Hottest Month Ever Recorded

And all this is happening and people still deny that this so called "Global Warming" is even real.

Below is a graph of the temperature from 1880 to present

Just a few quick points on what will happen if the heat keeps on rising.

The Glaciers Will begin to melt even faster than they are at the moment, rising sea levels. 

Cities, could disappear under the oceans, creating our own city of Atlantis.

Possible countries that will disappear.

Please view the above photo full screen to read it correctly.

Good bye house in the Bahamas.  

Climate Change

As seen above, we experienced our hottest month ever on record. With Climate change comes many more problems like -

Droughts

In my country South Africa, we are experiencing one of the worsts droughts in many years.

Animal Extinction

Due to the change in weather conditions, animals will begin to go extinct. Take for example the Polar bear,  as the polar ice caps melt, there is less hunting ground for the polar bears. With this comes starvation. Its harder to raise young. 

There are tons more things that will happen if we keep going the same way.

Combating global warming.

It all comes down to going green. Try get as much renewable energy into your house, get solar panels, try riding a  bicycle to work instead of driving(And its healthier for you;) ) If you truly cant ride a bike to work because of the massive distance then try going for a fuel efficient car, or even going hybrid or full electric. 

Even just replace all the bulbs in your house with. LED Light bulbs use 80% Less electricity then normal tungsten light bulbs.

OK, I don't want to end off on a negative note so let me share with you something positive about global warming at the moment. 

Even though our ice caps are melting, 

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. 

 “The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.” 

I hope you guys enjoyed my write up, if you enjoy nature, space and science. Please follow me @warrensteem
