Globe Warming Threatening Our Planet

From the passage, we can conclude that globe warming is the major threat to our planet biodiversity, which will result in the future species extinction. And human beings should be to blame for the problem.

As we know, the rapid development of industry is the major reason for the globe warming. Greenhouse gases are given out when people burning large quantities of fuels to produce energy. As a result, the temperature of our planet rises.

Obviously, globe warming will do great harm to our planet. It may cause the sea level to go up, bring about severe storms, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases and the destruction of species.

So we should take actions immediately to solve the problem. Firstly, we should find some alternative natural energy resources to replace burning fossil fuels. Secondly, laws on reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the world should be made as soon as possible. Lastly, we should strengthen the environmental education among the people throughout the world, making environmental protection a common consciousness.
