The document discusses global warming and climate change. It explains that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. The average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history over the past 50 years. While short term temperature increases may not seem significant, long term rising temperatures could seriously impact the planet if not addressed. The document encourages small individual actions like reducing energy use and recycling to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

1. From Tayla Pawczynski Climate Change

2. Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example four can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. You can make the planet a better place to save electricity by riding a bike, walk or take a bus, recycle and there are many more. What Can We Do To Help Global Warming

3. What Is The Green House Effect? The Green House Effect is the rise in temperature that the earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane ,for example) trap the energy from the sun. Without these gases heat would escape back into space and Earths temperature would be about 60 degrees F colder. Because of how they warm our world Because of, these gases they are referred as to Green House Gases.

4. Is The Earth Really Getting Hotter Yes. Although local temperatures flucture naturally. Over the past 50 years the average of global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in record history. And experts think that the trend is accelerating: the 10 most hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990

5. Sometimes little things can turn into big things. Think about brushing your teeth. If you don’t brush for one day chances are nothing bad will happen but if you don’t brush for one month you may develop a cavity. It’s the same thing with global temperature. If the temperature rises above normal levels for a few days its not a big deal- the Earth will stay more or less the same. But if the temperature continues to rise over a long period time . Whats The Big Deal

6. What Is The Climate The Climate is the common and average weather conditions at a particular place over a long period of time. (for example, more than 30 years.) We learn about different climates around the world. Deserts have a hot and dry climate while Antarctica Has a very cold and dry climate.

8. Global Warming paradox; While it produces more evaporation from the oceans to fill the warmer atmosphere with increased moisture, it also sucks moisture out of soil, leading to increasing desertification. Did You Know Did you know that Global Warming will be the greatest enviromental challenge in the 21 st Century.
