The Factors Causing Global Warming
Thesis
Global warming is a complex phenomenon, and its full-scale impacts are hard to predict far in
advance. But each year people learn more about what causes global warming. From the case
mentioned above, the writer is going to explain three factors causing global warming.
Argument 1
First, people argue that vehicles and industries pollution make global warming happen. We
know that emission gas of industries and vehicles cause increasing of carbon dioxide and air vapor in
atmosphere which makes world temperature hotter, called greenhouse effect.
Argument 2
Second, illegal logging is one of causes global warming. For example, in our country,
Indonesia, illegal logging is most popular activity. Many people, government or commoners like do it.
Ironic, they know, if they cut trees more and more, temperature of world will increase. Consequently,
Earth to be hotter. But no one care with this problem.
Argument 3
Third, using electricity much more, it can cause temperature of earth warm up. In common,
people produce energy by using fossil power that makes carbon dioxide in atmosphere increase.
Reiteration
From the facts above, I can conclude that global warming can be caused by vehicles and
industries pollution, illegal logging and the use of over-electricity. So, we should have to save our
earth right.
