Climate Change
Why is our climate going so bad?
It is what we are doing to the atmosphere that makes it so sad?
There has to be a special balance in the air
Of what we call "green house gases" that we must be aware.
They regulate our temperature, water vapor, and weather, too.
And there are others I just mentioned a few.
First is carbon dioxide in a ring our earth like a bowl.
Comes mainly from burning gas and coal.
This traps the sun's heat which melts our glaciers and warms the seas
That raises the water level and sends hurricanes beyond level three.
Thankfully, the Amazon rain forest absorbs lots of that gas
But we are cutting down the forest - how long can it last?
Secondly, smoldering coal produces methane gases
Posing health risks and other disasters.
Thirdly, our agricultural operations send nitrous oxide gases into the air
Something you would not want to breath anywhere.
Lastly, our synthetic compounds thins the ozone layer
That lets more sun heat through that barrier.
Scientists say if the rise in heat does not change by 2036
It will be to late to get it fixed.
