The earth has got warmer since since the 1990s. This is will have serious effect on agriculture. In warmer areas, it will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by fifty percent. This could cause a large decrease in agriculture production. World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040. This could cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one to two meters. Many coastal cities would be under water.Why is this happening? There is too much carbon dioxide in the air. When oil, gas and coal burn, they crease the large amounts of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide lets sunlight enter the Earth's atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it doesn't let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like the blanket. The heat can pass through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat stays there and can't get through the blanket again. Scientists call it the Greenhouse effect. A Greenhouse is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass and clear plastic ...These scientists say that we must start planning now. We need to do research so we can predict what will happen. We must conserve coal, oil, and gas.
