The document discusses global warming and is divided into sections on whether it is happening, the causes, prevention plans, and conclusions. It notes that the average global temperature has increased 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in recent decades, with glaciers and mountain tops melting quicker. The causes include both natural factors like volcanic emissions and solar activity, as well as man-made factors like carbon monoxide and methane gas emissions. Prevention plans recommended include reducing gasoline and oil usage through carpooling and using energy efficient appliances.

6. The Cause
 Change in climatic conditions of the Earth
can be due to various external and internal
factors. These can be natural or man-made
factors. Some of the natural causes are
volcanic emissions and solar activity
(D’Silva).

7. The Cause
 Carbon Monoxide contributes around
12% of the greenhouse effect and
methane gas causes 5% to 10% of
global warming (D’Silva).

of the Greenhouse effect?
Answer…Carbon Monoxide

9. Prevention Plan
 The main importance to prevention of
Global Warming is to reduce the level of
various gases into the environment. An
easy way to do this is to reduce the amount
of gasoline and oil into the air. An individual
can easily do this by carpooling to places
such as work or even for leisure nights out
(Franklin).

10. Prevention Plan
A prevention tactic can also be
using lighting in our homes that
saves energy. It can help also by
choosing various energy efficient
appliances (Franklin).

as citizens of this Earth to help
prevent Global Warming?
Answer….Carpooling 

13. Conclusion
 My first moment of surprise was learning that the average
temperature has increased by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit around
the world. After further research I know that temperatures will
only continue to increase.
 It was also new to me that volcanic emissions are a natural
cause to global warming. When I think of global warming I think
of carbon monoxide and solar activity.
 This presentation was my first time using hyperlinks in a power
point so it was interesting learning how to do so.
