Global  warming  is  one  of  today's  biggest  issues  but  the  importance  of  this  problem  is  still  not    accepted.  This  is  because  scientists  have  spent  many  years  in  the  past  disagreeing  about  why  global  warming  exists.  Some  people  in  the  science    argued  that  the  changes  are  caused  by  the  natural  environment  but  others  said  it  was  caused  by  us  and  our    society.  Today  the  majority  of  scientists  agree  that  the    damage  we  have  caused  is  the  reason  why  global  warming  exists.  We  must  therefore  focus  our  attention  on  educating  people  and  changing  their    to  the  problem.  Then  we  may  be  able  to  encourage  world  leaders,  governments  and  organisations  to  introduce  effective  environmental  policies  which  help  to  reduce  the  effects  of  global  warming  in  the  future.
