As the years go bye, the temperatures are rising up. Since the year of 1997, planet Earth has had it's hottest years since we started keeping record. Six of the states in the US (Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama have had the warmest climates in August since the 1990's. Scientists are saying the year of 2007 broke records by how hot it has been. This is due to global warming. Global warming starts with how much humans pollute the Earth. The pollution is breaking down the Earth's atmosphere, which lets the sun's UV rays pass through. Because of this, much of the Arctic sea ice is melting. The ice is melting so quickly, that many scientists think it might completely disappear by the year 2040. If people were more concerned about our Earth, global warming would happen, and we would all live safer lives.
