The document discusses the causes and effects of climate change and global warming. The primary causes are the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This traps heat and warms the planet, leading to consequences like more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and melting ice caps. While some skeptics do not believe humans are responsible, the document expresses the view that humans contribute somewhat but that climate change is also part of a natural cycle. Fighting global warming involves reducing waste and emissions through actions like using less energy and driving less.

1. Climate Change: What are the causes? By: Stephen Sullivan and Nick Waibel

2. Global Warming, Greenhouse effect, and climate change. short wavelengths of visible light from the sun pass through a transparent medium longer infrared wavelengths cannot pass through that same medium the trapping of the long wavelengths causes a higher temperature Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that collects in the atmosphere like a blanket causes global warming.

3. How are the greenhouse effect, climate change, and global warming alike? All of these effects cause the earth to heat more rapidly except climate change witch is actually just the effect from the greenhouse effect and global warming

4. Primary Cause of Global Warming? The burning of fossil fuels. Deforestation. decrease in methane. Increase in carbon dioxide.

5. Consequences of global warming. increased wildfires severe dust storms wild floods winter seasons shortened 20,000 deaths in Europe 1,500 deaths in India ice caps are melting at a rate of 9 percent per decade

6. How is global warming impacting the economy? Shorter winters result in more pests not dying of such as he pine bark beetle which kills millions of trees more forest fires cause more money to be lost the dead trees burn easier then the live ones longer summers mean a longer allergy season which results in more money for health car for those with asthma and allergy sufferers

7. Fighting Global Warming Reduce your waste amounts. Recycle all recyclable. Use the new eco-friendly light bulbs instead of the old ones. Driving less, and car pooling. Don't use tons and tons of hot water.

8. Arguments against global warming? Skeptics go along with anything that is well supported with facts and they follow through with there beliefs Deniers believe that its all humans fault that global warming is in existence

9. Opinions of global warming? I believe that global warming is just a small portion of the humans fault I believe scientists when they say that Earth is on a cycle of climate change I think we should still continue to try and put an end to the global warming problem
