This document discusses climate change, the greenhouse effect, and global warming. It defines these terms and explains how they are related. The primary causes of global warming are greenhouse gases emitted from the burning of fossil fuels. Consequences of unchecked global warming include rising sea levels from melting ice caps, increased extreme weather events, and mass species extinction. While global warming has impacts on the economy and environment, there are actions individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint and mitigate the problem.

1. Climate ChangeBY:Phillip Ciccarone&Joy Zheng

2. What is the greenhouse effect? Climate change? Global warming? The Greenhouse gases captures heat and keeps the Earths surface warm, for life forms to live on ,without this the planet would be uninhabitable, a planet to cold for life forms to survive Climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period, and climate change when the temperature changes in the certain areas(ex: Antarctica is generally freezing but , with green house gases forming, the temperature increases)Global warming is the increase in temperature of the earth's atmosphere, believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect, caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide.

3. How are each related?They are all related because they all effect our planetGlobal Warming, and the greenhouse effect, are both gases , Green house gases and Carbon dioxide are the two gases that cause Global Warming We need both greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide to liveEvery thing has to do with climate change because, global warming is heating the eath as well as the greenhouse effect so they have a huge impact on climate change

4. What are the primary causes of global warming?Green House gasses effect the earth, we need this to survive but scientist prove that this is getting to high there fore heating the earthFossil fuels creating Carbon Dioxide, fossils fuels burn up when we use them(ex: Cars, Factories, Cooking, electricity production and many other things) Gases Cause Global warming such as Greenhouse gases, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Chlorofluorocarbons

5. What are the consequences if we don’t stop Global Warming?The Polar Ice caps will melt , and they store a great amount of fresh water and if they melt they will go to the ocean, also there will be flooding from them melting Many species of plants and animals are going to be extinct, because they cant not adapt to the massive climate change Hurricanes will start to increase because of the climate changing so frequently , the cold fronts will combine with warm fronts Earths Temperature will increase , if we don’t stop global warming the earth is sure to end

7. How is global warming impacting economy?Can cost money if this issue in the future gets worse, then we need to repair it.Food source to the people can be a problem because when the temperature gets warmer soil can lose moisture to its content. And for that plant it would be hard to grow because it’s a unfamiliar temperature.Water source can be a problem because dryness over time and reduce the amount of water.Some natural resources can start to be limited

8. What are several ways we can all fight Global Warming?Get the word out to more peopleLearn more ways to slow it downChange the way people get around. Example is by driving less because cars produce carbon dioxideSmarter way to live and reduce energy things if possible.Do more positive to the earth

9. What is the basic argument against Global Warming?Whether if human are the reason why global warming is going fasterWhether people should worry about it now or later on Whether it’s a good thing or notIs the government doing anything to help it What can we do to helpWhether it’s good for nature or not

10. What are your personal opinions about global warming?My personal opinions about global warming is that people don’t do a lot of things to help it. I feel everyone can do a better job using less energy and give less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Another thing is it’s really hurting the animals around the north and south pole. Some of the reason is because of us. At the same time it’s hurting the nature because when we use the materials some needs to be burn to produce energy, when we do that carbon is release again. But global warming isn’t always human being who cause it to happen.
