**Introduction**
For along time, I have been concerned with the way us humans treat our Earth. The way we burn fossil fuels, pollute our oceans, and treat our Earth like a dumpster is why our Earth is the way it is now. It is believed that if we keep treating our Earth like this, we will have no Earth in a few years time. Our environment isn't able to cope with our mistakes for much longer, and i believe that we need to start fixing it.

**Body**
Our Earths tempature has tripled since the last century, causing the oceans water level to double over the last 10 years. Some results of Global Warming are higher sea levels, more natural disasters, and an impact on animals and plants. Higher sea levels may cause a seriouse impact on natural beaches, causing the loss of sand. More natural disasters will occur because of he fact that global warming accelerates the normal cycle of rainfall and evaporation. The impact on animals and plants that occurs during global warming, is that the drastic change in temperature will cause the animals and plants to the northern and mountainous areas where the temparture is cooler. Certain plants and animals have the possibilty of becoming extinct due to the fact that there may be obstacles in the way of the plants and animals to migrate north to mountainous areas.
