The document discusses global warming, the greenhouse effect, and climate change. It defines these terms and explains how they are interrelated. Global warming refers to the gradual increase in Earth's temperature caused by human activity that increases greenhouse gases. This leads to changes in climate over both short and long periods. The greenhouse effect describes how the atmosphere absorbs and radiates heat from the sun, which can impact temperatures. The document then discusses the primary human causes of global warming, potential economic and environmental consequences, and some actions individuals can take to reduce their contribution to the problem. It also presents opposing arguments that question the extent or causes of global warming.

1. Global WarmingBy: Hannah and Maddie

2. What is the greenhouse effect? Climate change? Global Warming?Greenhouse effect: Process in which earth’s atmosphere absorbs radiation and allows some to be radiated to the surface. Some gases are Nitrogen and oxygen.Climate Changes: Caused by shifts in the planet. Heats and cools over a long or short period of time.Global Warming: The planet’s temperature is gradually increasing. The current heating of earth’s climate changes rhythms of the climate of all living things.

3. How are they related?Global Warming is a climate change that is occurring over a short period of time which is unnatural. They all are related to Earth’s climate and temperature changes.The greenhouse effect is how our atmosphere reacts and changes to radiation which can change the temperature of an area.

4. Primary Causes of Global WarmingAn increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphereCaused by human’s activity artificially recreating itSun’s solar activity also, could play a small role

5. Possible ConsequencesWe will experience extreme temperatures.Sea levels will rise,Storms that we’re not prepared for.Disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents spread because of the increase in temp.Severe heat, floods, and other catastrophes.Health risks.

6. Effect on EconomyIt will have a greater risk on the economy if we don’t take actionThe economy will loose its resources from an impact of Global WarmingIt will take a lot of effort and new ideas to learn how to readapt to the effect’s of Global Warming on the economyIt is a good investment to take action to fight it

7. Several ways we can fight Global Warming. Gas-powered cars to either electric or battery cars.Drive lessRegular light bulbs CFL light bulbs.Less factoriesCleaning litterSave waterEnergy efficient appliancesRecycle

8. Basic ArgumentTemperature data sources show no trendWe can’t see the future so we don’t know the outcome of global warming.People don’t buy into it, thinking global warming is just a story.Think changes are too much money.People don’t want to regret supporting it if nothing happens.

9. PersonalOpinionsSome people get too worried about it when it doesn’t seem like a big deal to some people.I think the planet may be getting warmer right now naturally.Humans may play a small role in this climate change, if we do we should try to be more efficient, but I don’t think we can stop everything.It’s good to help our planet but we shouldn’t be spending so much money on it.
