Antarctica Wilkins ice

According to P. Spotts (March 28, 2008) in this article “Antarctica’s Wilkins Ice Shelf eroding at an unforeseen pace” Antarctica's ice shelf has collapsed and been destroyed because of global warming recently. This article says that its erosion would not directly affect the sea level. However, glaciologists are worried about Antarctica`s ice shelves because if this would be melted, it could make the sea level definitely higher, and another reason is the glaciers are melting faster than before now. So one of the researchers says that scientists need to find why events like that happen and then they can anticipate what will happen next.

I am going to write about why global warming has come; it is because of gas from the car, the Freon gas and gas from waste treatment.

First, these days there are many cars in the world now and many people use the cars now. The global warming is going to be more serious, but nobody cares about that. The gas from cars destroys the ozone. As we know the ozone is important for our lives; we should protect that. The way we can protect the ozone is we need to use public transportation instead of our own car. If we do that, we can not only protect the ozone but also save our money.

Second, we ought to control the use of air conditioner because it is really harmful for the environment. When we use air conditioner the Freon gas will come out from there. It also destroys the ozone as a gas from car. Some people turn on the air conditioner all day. It can not only waste money but also destroy the environment. If you really knew what will happen next because of global warming, just try to control the use of air conditioner.

Third, I did not know this before, but when we treat waste, some harmful gas comes out of there. But I heard that if we use recyclable things or organic things, the gas will be reduced a lot. Nowadays there are a lot of recyclable things and organic things, but many people do not purchase those things because of price. It is true those things are more expensive than the other things, but we need to buy them for the environment. The pollution is going to be more serious in 10 years, which means we will not be able to live the same as now. Many people do not realize how serious it is. when they realize it, that will be too late. Even from now on, we try to change to purchase things that are recyclable things and organic things.

In my opinion, the global warming did not seem to be so serious for me. However I read some articles, and then I realized that I was wrong. I knew that if the ozone is destroyed, it can become the most serious thing ever. We could have skin cancer if it was more serious than now. Everyone needs to realize this as soon as possible and they should try what they can do. What we can do are we can use public transportation instead of our own car, try to control the use of air conditioner and finally we can buy recyclable and organic things instead of non-recyclable things.
