6. Conclusion

I also mentioned that ozone layer is repairing itself as evident through latest research, however it should not be considered a sign of victory - humanity is a long way from saving the planet earth from Global Warming. I could not remember a single quote or reference, so I wrote none. My essay was almost 2000-2100 words, I could not write more than that, as I was worried that conclusion might be left out if I prolonged the essay to increase word count.

Please share your comments and pointers, I dont have any space for improvement as it was my final attempt. Nonetheless, feedback is welcomed. Also share your essay outline or general ideas.
This was an expository topic in which there is not much to deduct when the facts are stated the way they are. Although I am not an expert but in my opinion you have produced a comprehensive and relevant outline. About causes and stuff, it all depends how you related them (which is an art). All the best!

Additional note: I think “greatest” carries the correct connotation for this topic and yes its humans who quadrupled the GW after industrialization. Natural weather has had minimal effect in comparison.
