Global Warming by Chase Zimmerman

Global warming is a problem that we face in the world today.  We, the people, are the cause of this global warming which is seriously affecting the world in a negative way.  The cars and sport utility vehicles people drive release carbon dioxide which pretty much poisons the earth.  Some of the factories people work in release smoke which affects the ozone layer breaking it down causing an increase in UV radiation which in turn can end up causing cancer.  Skin cancer, for instance, is caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, or radiation.  All of this smog and pollution has caused an increase in the temperature of the earth which in turn has started melting the glaciers.  The melting of the glaciers can possibly change the temperature of the ocean and also eventually cause the ocean to rise.  I think that this global warming is terrible, but I still drive an SUV and wouldn't want to get rid of it.  I think people care, but just don't want to change their ways to make things better.
