Some individuals are trying to view global warming as a glass-half-full concept. ie: for every downside to global warming there is usually an upside as well. In areas that see extreme cold temperatures, deaths related to colder weather would drop significantly, leading to decreased health care costs. Warmer temperatures would also mean less energy use to heat homes and buildings, helping to conserve energy. With the changes brought about by global warming more land would become available for uses like farming and living which can decrease world hunger as it increases the food supply. One has to assume it will offset the coastal land that will be lost due to rising ocean waters as the ice caps melt.  Forests and plants would grow stronger, healthier, and more abundant because of the warmer weather, and this would mean more oxygen being released into the atmosphere.

Warmer temperatures would also mean safer winters because of less snow and ice on the roads; thus traffic deaths during the colder months may also plummet, saving thousands of lives every year. There would also be fewer injuries because of slips on snow and ice. Billions of dollars will be saved in heating bills in the United States alone, which is a big chunk of money. A change in the global temperature by as little as three or four degrees could have a big effect, especially in colder areas of the world.  This consideration also has to be offset with the potential loss of those areas that currently enjoy warmer temperatures. These areas would probably change from a warm temperature to an unlivable desert.

While some may look at global warming as not really being all that bad, the consequences of the continued warming process will probably melt so much fresh water into the oceans, that it stops the earth’s ‘conveyor belt’ of water flow that currently keeps so many areas balanced. If this occurs, there will be a devastating reversal in livable areas around the world. Conserving energy and using renewable alternative energy sources can help prevent the negative effects of global warming. The earth will continue to experience this phenomenon for centuries after people reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Using energy conservation and moving away from fossil fuels that contribute to global warming is an important first step to ensure that the earth stays livable and in good shape, so your children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy it and thrive. Global warming is a serious issue, and we need to do everything we can as inhabitants of this planet to ensure that we do not harm our world. Using renewable energy sources like biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy, and others, will ensure that the negative effects of global warming are minimized as much as possible. Conserving energy is also important in making the most of the energy we have without the need for more until we have eliminated using fossil fuels completely.
