Adelie penguins

In Cameron Smith`s (2008) article, “To crack a climate cipher, watch the penguins,” the author explains that penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula gradually died and moved their habitat because of global warming. According to Meridith Hooper, the penguins are becoming extinct and their vast colonies are moving South on the continent. The iceberg melted, so sea levels are rising because of global warming. Moreover, the Northern air, which is warm and humid, affects to Southern air which is dry and cold. Therefore, snowfalls have increased. The penguins need ice because they get their feed from icebergs. However, icebergs have rapidly melted because of global warming. So, we need a solution to prevent global warming.

We have many problems because of global warming, because people make serious pollution. I am going to write about how population growth can make pollution, the cars can make air pollution, and factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution.

First, population growth can make pollution because many people are able to make air pollution. Also, when population is increasing rapidly, it would make a serious problem because people make air pollution, make water pollution, and destroy the environment. For example, if population growth increases, they are using more fossil fuel. It has caused smoke pollution. So, we should control population. It will make a good environment.

Second, the cars can make air pollution, because many people want to buy a car. Most people do not want to do too much work. Therefore, they are using too many cars. For example, most families have a car or more than two. It makes serious air pollution. Thus, people have tried to make electric motorcars. So, we should reduce the use of cars, and we can utilize means of public transportation instead of cars.

Finally, the factories can eliminate contaminants by water pollution. Some factories emit a lot of industrial waste in the water. For example, some factories owners make effluence quietly and create industrial waste. It has caused very serious water pollution. Moreover, I heard that when oil tankers have sunk in the sea, it would cause serious water pollution. So, we should protect the ocean and keep the laws.

In conclusion, we should protect the environment also we need to control population. Also, we should try to reduce the use of cars and factories can eliminate contaminants because of water pollution. People should create alternative energy because it will have a good effect on the environment.
