Global Warming

Global warming is an increase in average temperature in the world. Some causes of global warming are people simply going on with their everyday lives. The amount of people who drive in the world is pretty much way over half of the population. All the gases coming out of the cars go up into the atmosphere and start ruining it. It also doesn't help the fact that a large amount of people in the world are extremely lazy and jut don't feel like walking or taking a bike. And for all the people who don't drive could just take a plane or use the train, or even take a bus.

One of the major effect of global is the melting of the polar ice caps. That could be disastrous because if the polar ice caps melt, the water level will rise and it could start over flowing the continents. Someone told me that in my lifetime and my kids (that i hopefully have) lifetime that Florida will be complete covered with water because of global warming.
