What’s happening to our Planet?
Nowadays, the planet we live in is turned upside down! The natural hazards have been getting worse day-by-day, and it’s all because of our carelessness.
The CO2 emissions have been degrading our planet.
The temperatures have been raising up a lot. In Portugal, the hottest year was in 1997, but the 10 hottest years were after 1990 (1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2003 and 2006).
The hurricanes, storms, tornados and typhoons are stronger too. In the news we hear “Hurricane Katrina destroyed… killed… people”. Hurricanes happen frequently because of high temperatures. The sea temperature is much hotter than usual, the atmosphere temperature is lower, and all this leads to the formation of a hurricane! These past 17 years, the sea temperatures have been hotter than ever, which means that a lot of hurricanes have appeared! They are really strong. The proof is what hurricane Katrina did in New Orleans.
.
The tsunamis, nowadays are more frequently, and unpredictable. They are more destructive too. In December 2004 a huge tsunami in the Indic Ocean killed more than 220000 people and destroyed many coast cities. It was a huge tsunami with 50 feet and a magnitude of 9.0. In previous years, there were other tsunamis, but this one killed more people and caused more damage to the countries which were caught by it.
These past 17 years, there have been registered earthquakes which are stronger and destructive than ever.
As we can see, our actions caused all this: the strong hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, etc, and this won’t stop until we stop polluting. We really have to quit doing this! It isn’t only the Earth who is suffering. All the animals, plants and even us the humans, are suffering the consequences.
