Global Warming
The ecological crisis is a moral issue ...Respect for Life and for the dignity of the human
person extends also to the rest of creation...We cannot interfere in one area of the
ecosystem without paying due attention both to the consequences of such interference
in other areas and to the well being of future generations.
John Paul II

Global Warming is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's
atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of
carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.
Global warming causes serious problems that will greatly affect human beings.
Air and water pollution, toxic wastes, improper garbage disposal, destruction of wildlife
habitats, deforestation, mining are some of the problems that relate to environmental
destruction. The many typhoons and strong rains were indeed devastating. The
pollution of international waters, the irreversible destruction of the world's forests and
increased toxic emissions in the air we breathe, among other things, leave us to ponder
our relationship with the environment.
One concrete effect of this lifestyle is global warming The use of coal and oil in
generating electricity for industrial and residential settings is a big factor in increasing
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributes to the warming of the
planet. The increasing level of carbon dioxide also contribute to what scientists call
the "greenhouse effect". The green house effect takes place when gases are trapped
in the atmosphere and retain heat from the sun. Warming of the planet causes serious
problems that will greatly affect human beings.
" The most important things about global warming is this: Whether humans are
responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it is
all our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than
we found it.
