1st Issue-Global Warming or better yet Global Melting

This is one of the most talked about environmental issues, but that doesn't mean any really action is being taken. People talk about this one subject in books(even if it is a science fiction book), on television, in movies, and on the news but what exactly is really happening. Over the year the Earth has been through many different environment changes, but not as saver as today's changes. Even if the World's temperature has only been risen a few degrees, that could change our complete way of life.
The first major affect caused by Global Warming is the Polar Ice Caps melting, putting many animals out of there homes. Also with the caps melting to water our sealines will increase and some places will be flooded, leaving millions of families without a home. There will be no room to put extra people because the world is already over populated and there already is a lack of land and over populate countries.
Another problem about Global Warming is that as soom as all the ice melts the water will evaporate, leaving us, the people, with no water to live with. We will also no longer have our vast oceans and will be left with dried up lands.
The current issue Global Warming is forcing us to face now is an increase of natural disasters. We are currently getting more tsunamis, hurricans, Earth quakes, and other natural disasters than we have ever had in recorded history. It has been scientifically proven that the changes in our atmosphere are the cause for the un-natural increase of the disasters.
It is now up to us to save the rest of the planet, even if we can not undo it completely becuse what's done is done. We, the people who care about our Earth and our future, need to spread the word of Global Warming and let others know that this a more serious issue. We can not let people think that Global Warming is just going to make it a little warmer, and that it will eventually evaperate all our water. We have to deal with this issue now before our future generations have to pay for it.
I suggest that we start to call Global Warming Global Melting, because it says more than just turning up the heat. For more that you can do to help go to: www.dosomething.org/causes/global_warming
