According to the trusty Merriam-Webster dictionary, Global Warming is an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. To put it simply, because of pollution, there is an increase in the earth’s temperature- causing a lot of environmental problems. And if we don’t start taking care of mother earth now, things would come to an end, especially for the future generations.
The advances in technology today affect most of our environment. Burning of fossil fuels, using products with CFCs, carbon dioxide from power plants, modes of transportation and buildings, deforestation are just some of the causes on the thinning of the ozone layer. But sad to say, not everyone gives attention to this growing problem. As long as they’re comfortable now- why worry about the future? Well, it’s everyone’s duty to take care of the earth and make sure it stays ‘livable’ for the future generations. In the past, people lived more than about a hundred years! But now, some barely even reach sixty, let alone a hundred. Good thing nowadays, medicines have greatly improved. But with the rise of medical researches, new diseases are yet to be discovered. But what about our planet? What is earth’s medicine?

Here’s an interesting (and a bit insulting in my opinion) article I found online: 10 Surprising Results of Global Warming. Basically, it tells us about the effects of global warming- things that even offhand people bother to think about. With it’s catchy headings, I hope after reading this article, a bit or concern for our environment would surface.
It’s because of the neglect of us humans that the world is suffering, affecting the animals and plants as well. It’s ironic to say that the advances in science, giving comfort in our life, have caused these problems with the environment. It’s a pity. We take and take but don’t give back. Soon, there’ll be nothing to take, and nothing to repay.

It's time to stop being a parasite to our planet. We're human beings. We're the stewards of God's creations. Earlier today, I tried my luck on entering Screeve. I was to write a story on how to 'Change the world, one step at a time.' [[or something like that. I forgot the exact words.]] I guess this is my first step.
