Global warming is threatening the very livelihood of mankind. Emission of greenhouse gas, coupled with the the continuous growing global population, is causing a huge strain on the Earth's natural resources and the situation is getting from bad to worse. Growing burning of fossil fuels, caused by the growing population, is adding more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere and causing the global temperature to rise. Polar caps are melting at a dangerous rate, adding to the already-rising water level. Floods and droughts are occurring more often and people are killed in these phenomenon. Trees are cut down faster than they are replaced; the air quality is deteoriating. Holes in the ozone layer are allowing harmful UV rays to enter the Earth and causing skin cancer and blindness. We are all living in a dangerous world and must do something to prevent the situation from getting worse. Any suggestions on what we, as inhabitants of this planet, can do and should do to preven the Earth from dying?
