Dear Mr. Congressman, It has come to my attention, well not only my attention but many other people, that the planet’s global warming problem has become more and more serious over the years.

Global warming has always been the most concerned issue all over the world. Intense industrial activities and human’s irresponsible ways of living generated a high-level of carbon emissions which in turn triggered climate change. Abnormal environmental events such as floods, droughts, rise in sea level and melting glaciers are happening around us. It is believed that everyone should make concerted effort to confront this global threat, yet much debate is aroused on the responsibilities for the dilemma

Global Warming GLOBAL WARMING: AN ESSAY. E ven among my small circle of friends, there seem to be polarized beliefs about global warming, or climate change. I sampled six months of columns and editorials in the Wall Street Journal and discovered that the universal angle of the full sample was to argue about how expensive this or that action to confront climate change might be and to imply that there was nothing profound here to justify such an expense. (I randomly looked up and read about twelve

Global warming reveals the Heart of Antarctica First of all, global warming is when the earth’s temperature rises. It is affecting many parts of the world and makes the sea rise, or the ice melt. But even if it’s known for its many drawbacks, it’s easier to reach many places such as the Antarctica, thanks to the ice-melting. It gives more access to beautiful landscapes: not only in the poles but also in the mountains, as we can see on the picture. As a result, the global warming gives a great
