Earth on Fire

The setting for this fiction story is the controversial global warming and how in the future year 2035, the U.S reacted to it. If it were to happen, what could be done about it? The answer is that at some point, nothing could be done about it. That being the case, the Earth would warm until life as we know it could not survive on the Earth's surface. In this story, there was no other option, you go underground indefinitely and this in all probability is not feasible, but an attempt had to be made. The existence of the human race was at stake.

This is a depiction of that global warming event that describes the fundamental problems that occurred for the characters in the story and a hypothetical description of the global warming event as it occurred and its aftermath.

As for global warming as a possible event, it has happened on the Earth before and the best evidence is that it was caused by greenhouse gases escaping for variety of reasons from the Earth surface. This major event was slow in occurring and took place millions of years ago and the temperature of the Earth increase for a period of 200,000 years and the Earth turned green with tropic conditions in the high north. No ice at the poles and increased ocean levels from the melted ice. That period was a best case scenario and how it relates to this story other than the effects of the event, is that for some yet undetermined reason, the Earth and the atmosphere corrected the problem.
