The Earth Is Becoming Warmer

—— but does it matter?

Discovering

There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer. But how has the phenomenon happened? All scientists agree with the view that it is because of human activity. Burning of fossil fuels has caused too much CO2 in the air and the temperature of the earth tends to increase with ‘greenhouse effect’. But some scientists disagree with the point that lots of CO2 is bad for the earth. Besides, although people have done something to reduce CO2 , the earth continues to be warm. Nobody knows the effects of global warming in the future.
