A question asked over 9100 times per month on google alone is how is global warming caused and not nearly enough people are answering the hard questions that are being asked. I feel this is an important question and deserves serious answers.

Global warming has made it evident that there are serious climate changes going on. Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa was once known for its snow covered peaks and now there is but sparce snow upon those, once beautifully covered, peaks.

We need not stop there as the snow covered peaks are melting all around the world. Anyone familiar with Glacier National Park in Montana, can attest to this phenomenon as Boulder Glacier, a once beautifully snow covered mountain top, is now little more than a chilly place to enjoy the mountanous views.

But this is happening all over the world. Switzerland is well known for many famous glaciers (e.g. The Tschierva Glacier and, The Rhone Glacier, just to name a couple), and the list of places go on and on. The Upsala Glacier located in Argentina, along with the Perito Moreno Glacier.

Even the Himalayan Glaciers have been seriously affected. The Himalayans stretched across Asia include 14 of the tallest moutains in the world and provide over half the drinking water for 40 percent of the worlds population. This is serious as the drinking water is not easily replaced and a water shortage to over 2.8 billion people seems very likely without serious efforts to correct the causes of the global warming.

But we still have not touched on the actual causes of the global warming phenomenon and that is where this will continue on my next posting, so be sure to come back and you should sign up for my RSS Feed.
