Bad moon on the rise

Global temperature is rising, and is changing the world’s geosystems for the worse. Temperature rise is directly connected to the increased severity of natural disasters. What can be done to help deter increasing global temperature?
Global temperature increase will affect everyone and is being caused by everyone. Global temperature increases are directly connected to pollution. Much of this pollution is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide holds in radiation energy that usually is allowed to escape out through the atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the more radiation is held in the atmosphere, in turn, increasing global temperature. America is the biggest producer of pollution in the whole world, producing 31% of Earths total pollution. Pollution also damages crops, forests and wildlife habitats. Weather related disasters have increased 500% in the last 25 years. Also since the seventies 45% of the Arctic ice has melted. Scientists predict, at this rate all of earths ice will be totally melted within 70 – 100 years from now. Polar ice links all earths geosystems, and when all the ice is gone we will be in deep water. When all the ice melts, ocean levels will rise around 50 feet. This will displace billions of humans and animals alike. Much of the sea life will not be able to cope with dwindling ocean salinity levels. There will be widespread drought and famine.
Our future is grim. We have set ourselves up for failure. The only thing I can see us doing is things that will postpone the inevitable. We can cut back on energy and fuel usage but at the rate the population is growing that will do little good. Human beings are the most destructive invasive species the Earth has ever seen. Its time for nature to provide much needed population control.
