In recent years, the problems related to global warming have been of growing concern. Many causes that make our planet becomes hotter and hotter. (That is not a sentence. It is a noun phrase. Be sure to write complete sentences in your essay.) As a result, governments and humans take responsibility for dealing with this issue. (You did not answer the essay prompt.

You do not want to make global warming worse, do you? ) threats to people living on the earth caused by global warming are the increase in violent storms and the rise in sea levels. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses and carbon dioxide, methane. are air pollution and plastic bag usage. (Plastic bags are not related to global warming. They are bad for the oceans because wildlife eats the plastic material and they die.) Nowadays, the appearance of many factories and the increase of population cause negative impact on our planet. For example, gas emissions from factories and exhaust fumes from vehicles lead to global warming. Moreover, as people’s demands are increasing rapidly, the greater number of single-use plastics or disposable plastics are provided and consumed. This material needs to take thousand years to decompose, which may have a devastating effect on the environment. (That is not on the topic. The topic is only global warming, not trash and plastic. Plastic is not a greenhouse gas. Plastic does not cause global warming. )

Because of serious consequences, governments could adopt policies and laws to cut down on emissions such as encouraging companies and plants use renewable energy from solar, wind,… (Do not use ellipses, "etc." or phrases such as "and so on" in formal essays.) Although governments take action on global warming, individuals should raise their awareness about protecting the environment.

Here are some facts for you to use in your essay. You can write it again.

1. Global warming is caused by human activities that release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

2. The most problematic gasses are carbon dioxide and methane.

3. Carbon dioxide is released from burning fossil fuels. Most carbon dioxide is released by cars, trucks, airplanes and other vehicles. Power plants that burn coal also emit a lot of carbon dioxide.

4. Carbon dioxide is removed from the air by trees, especially dense forests. But people are cutting down the forests, so the carbon dioxide just remains in the air.

5. Methane is generated by animals such as cows, sheep and pig. Since we eat a lot of meat, we raise millions of these animals. If people ate less meat, there would not be so many of these animals, and the amount of methane would be reduced.

These are the main problems caused by global warming:

1. Very violent storms which destroy property.

2. Wildfires which destroy property.

3. Warmer air causes glaciers to melt into the sea. The polar ice is melting. Rising sea levels flood islands and low-lying land. Coastal cities are experiencing floods. Animals that live in cold areas are going extinct.

4. Coral reefs cannot survive in higher temperatures. Many of them are dying. They are a source of small animals at the bottom of the food chain. If they go extinct, the planet's food chains may collapse.
