The Cause and Effect of Global warming

Mother Nature is ready to destroy all of mankind, because of all the harm that humans have caused this earth. In the article, “Ecopsychology and the Deconstruction of Whiteness,” Carl Anthony gets interviewed by Roszak, and they touch on the most important issues of global warming. According to Anthony, this society is built around white supremacy. He travels back in time during the harsh slavery times where blacks were treated like animals. He emphasizes on the fact that blacks, in some ways, are still slaves. Anthony believes that whites dominate every other human race. This idea of white supremacy has forced many blacks to work hard just to get the worst jobs in the working industries. These jobs often deal with factories, and just about every boss that runs these jobs are white men. In some cases, blacks realize that they are working for a white man that likes to dominate other human races. Not only do humans cause global warming by working in factories, and creating carbon dioxide, but they also create tension between each other. Humans have caused global warming, and because there is so much tension, they won’t unite to find a solution to global warming. Whites love to be on top of the world, and they constantly hire minorities to do their dirty work, such as work in factories, to keep their business running. Whites still maintain domination over blacks like they did in the 19^th century when they were slave “masters.” This article just gave us one perspective of global warming, but the excerpt, “The World Without US,” by Alan Weisman, gives us another terrifying view of mankind that no one wants to witness.

As I read the excerpt, “The World Without Us,” by Weisman, I was frightened because Wiseman made me wake up, and realize that this world will soon be destroyed. She wrote about how Manhattan is predicted to be underwater if global warming worsens. She stated, “Within 20 years, the water-soaked steel columns that support the street above the East Side’s 4, 5, and 6 trains corrode and buckle. As Lexington Avenue caves in, it becomes a river” (Weisman, p. 30). This definitely scared me because I live on the 6 train line, and I take it home just about everyday when I come from school. If global warming worsens, I don’t know how I will make it home. I would probably have to find some sort of boat to take it home, but by the time Manhattan goes underwater, the human species will probably be annihilated. It all started because whites wanted domination over all other races, and look at what happened because of that idea of white supremacy. Manhattan, like many other cities, will be ruined, and no one will be able to survive the global warming takeover.
