The document discusses various topics related to global warming, including its causes, effects, and potential solutions. It notes that global warming is largely caused by greenhouse gas emissions, especially from fossil fuels. Burning these fuels increases the greenhouse effect and raises global temperatures. Higher temperatures can negatively impact wildlife habitats and cause more severe storms. The document explores renewable energy sources like solar and wind power as alternatives. It also mentions other solutions such as cap and trade programs. Overall, the document outlines the problem of global warming and different approaches to addressing it.

1. What can we do
about..
Global Warming?

2. Fossil Fuels
Natural
gas
pipeline
Coal
Petroleum

3. Greenhouse Effect
Diagram of the greenhouse effect

4. Effects of Global Warming
Higher temperatures can
Global warming also
destroy the habitats of
causes stronger storms.
animals.

5. Renewable Energy: Solar and
Wind
Wind Turbines
Solar Panels

6. Alternative Energy:
Biomass and Hydro
power
Hydropower plant
Biomass

7. Other Countries: France
75 percent of France's energy is nuclear.

8. Cap and Trade
Companies that stay under the cap can sell their credits to other
companies that need them

9. Benefits of Cap and Trade
Cap and Trade can be cheaper than
other ways of reducing emissions.

10. Global Warming: Ou
fault?
List of countries by population (top)
List of countries by greenhouse gas
emissions (right)
In a large part, global warming is the
fault of the US. Our country emits
the most greenhouse gases while
making up less than 5 percent of the
world's population.

11. We have to do something about
it...
How we treat our planet matters because we don't have a second
chance with it. We can't just sit around and do nothing.
