Global Warming

Miami is not the beautiful coastal city it was years ago. Most of its beauty is now covered with water from the sea thanks to global warming. Looking back the humans are to blame for the current status. Greenhouses continued to be put up despite the constant warnings of the effects that came with it. The gases from the greenhouses were being discharged into the atmosphere making the oceans to moderate the effect (National Geographic, 2019). The oceans continue to take in the heat but as it appears, no more heat can be taken, and the oceans have now swelled and busted. What the global society failed to do is to insist on the effects of greenhouses and better yet physically go to the sites where the houses were constructed and ensure the construction was stopped. It also looks like our global society chooses to include the government and other authorities when it was too late.

The anthropogenic effects of global warming were dominant to the natural contributions to global warming. The melting glaciers increased with time. Summer periods did record an increase in the melting of mountain glaciers (National Geographic, 2019). Furthermore, snowfall continued to decrease with each winter season. The water run-off could no longer balance with evaporation because more water was coming into the ocean and little going out. This difference also led to rising sea levels.  After 5000 years of being warned about possible global warming, the time has come, and global warming is happening. The society in the hope for moderation has pulled down all the greenhouses, they have planted trees and even resolved to use bicycles in place of cars as ways of preventing the emission of gases that harm the ozone layer. The consequences are however notable because the beautiful Miami beach is now inaccessible.
