When the earth heats up is a serious problem generally referred to global warming. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun’s heat and light is trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die. At present our world has changed dramatically. We all are responsible for these changes. Excessive energy consumption along with wasteful consumption and extensive deforestation caused by industrialization has had a negative impact on this planet. We can all help make the world a better place to live in. Several steps should be taken to do this. We can help plant and maintain trees to help reduce global warming. We can try to be more energy efficient by using energy efficient cars, by turning out lights when they are not needed and by reducing the use of air-conditioners, decrease the amount of deforestation. If we all help by doing our share, the world will be a better place to live in. Make this world a better place to live.
