Global Warming

The United States has been using fossil fuels in large amounts ever since the industrial revolution. Now, not only are the factories pumping out carbon dioxide, the majority of U.S. citizens drive cars on a regular basis and many other countries have industrialized; the world population is pumping out more carbon dioxide than nature can handle. If world keeps putting out carbon dioxide like it has been, there will be devastating changes to our environment.
The carbon dioxide emissions were estimated to decrease in 2007, but the opposite happened; carbon dioxide emissions raised three present from 2006 to 2007. China produces many products that are require energy consuming machinery and shipped worldwide. Scientists said that China accounted for half of the worlds CO2 increase in 2007. The United States CO2 output had decreased in 2006 but increased two present 2007. Scientists said that the U.S. has the highest CO2 output per person. The large amount of CO2 the world has continued put out is quite frightening.
Although forests and oceans once sucked up enough of CO2 to prevent climate change, they can no longer keep up with humans CO2 output rates. The rate that forests and oceans suck up CO2 has decreased and the rate that humans produce CO2 has increased. If we continue to produce more CO2 than nature can deal with, there will be harsh temperature changes, which will cause the oceans to get warmer. There will be an increase in the number and in severity of storms. Glaciers will melt and oceans will rise. The amount of CO2 that humans have been putting out must be decreased in order to prevent these harmful events.
