What is the global warming?
The global warming is when the earth heats
up the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases trap heat
and light from the sun in the earth`s atmosphere which increases the
temperature. This hurts many people, animals and plants. Many can`t
take the change, so they die.
What causes the global warming?
An increase in greenhouse gases in the earth`s
atmosphere.

3. What are greenhouse gases?
The main ones are carbon dioxide
(CO
2
2
), and methane (CH
4
).
What do greenhouse gases do?
They prevent heat from escaping from earth into space.
What has caused greenhouse gases to increase?
 The burning of fossil fuels (such as oil
and gas). This emits CO2.
 The destruction of tropical forests. Trees absorb
CO2.

4. 3
 The farming of rice and cattle (on large scale). These produce CH4.
How quickly is the world
warming?
The temperature of the
world may raise
3.5oC by the year 2100.
What would be the main effects on
Egypt?
 Firstly, if the global warming
continues to rise, the sea water will

expand. This may cause the Nile Delta to flood.

6. 5
 Secondly, more water in the soil will evaporate.
This may cause the land to become desert.
 Thirdly, the sea will become hotter. This may cause coral reefs to
bleach and die.
Finally, some diseases, such as malaria, may increase.

7. How can we help to reduce global warming?
6
 Use less fuel and electricity.
 Buy more food from
local farmers.
 Recycle paper and
aluminum.
Don`t use good made from
tropical hardwoods.
