The document discusses global warming, climate change, and the greenhouse effect. It explains that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the lower atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change over time. While some effects may appear positive, like longer growing seasons, global warming is largely caused by human emissions and will have severe consequences like rising sea levels and ecosystem damage if left unaddressed. Some ways to reduce global warming include using less energy and driving less. While most scientists agree that human activity is causing climate change, there are dissenting opinions.

1. Global warmingBy: Alec and Raul

2. What is greenhouse effect, climate change, and global warming?Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing long waves of radiation emitted from the earths surface.Climate change is when a place becomes warmer or colder over time.

3. How are greenhouse effect, climate change, and global warming relatedGlobal warming causes climate change and greenhouse effect causes global warming

4. What are the primary causes of global warming?Mankind is the main cause because they emit greenhouse gases into our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide from cars.

5. Consequences of global warmingWeather patterns may changeHealth of human beings can change because of the gases in the atmosphereWildlife can be effected like how the ocean water can become acidic and kill the fishThe sea levels can rise because of the melting of glaciers from the oceans and the poles

6. How is global warming impacting economyLonger growing seasons, melting along the northwest passage for cheaper shipping are some positive examplesJapanese beetles can stay here longer because it will stay warmer for a longer period of time and they kill millions of treesMore allergies because of the warmer weather

7. Ways to fight global warmingDrive lessUse less heat and air conditioningUse less hot waterPlant some trees

8. What is the basic argument against global warmingMost scientist believe that human activities do not disrupt global warming or the earth’s climate in any way.

9. Personal opinions of global warmingI think it is real and dangerous to humans. I think this because if glaciers do melt it can raise the sea level and cause the water to come closer to the land. I think that it can also be dangerous because it kills the wildlife in the ocean and can ruin an ecosystem which means it can effect ours.
