Global Warming Awareness
Because living is awesome

The Warning
Scientists warn us if we don't take a dynamic curb to climate change immediately, the human race will suffer for it.
Background of Global Warming
Global warming is cause when Carbon Dioxide or other pollunts build up in the Earth's atmosphere and causes the sun's warmth to be trapped. Which causes the Earth to warm up. Over the past 50 years, the Earth's average temperature has increased the fastest in recorded history. Scientists say that unless we stop submitting warming pollunts up into the atmosphere, the Earth's average temperature could be three to nine degrees higher. The ice caps will melt causes the ocean to rise and cause cities to be engulfed.
Consequences of Global Warming
We will see are weather change, lack of water, agriculture problems (such as drought), ecosystems will die off and species of animals and plants will become extinct. Illness spread by food or water will spread more easily. Deaths from the heat or heat waves will happen. Also these affects will cost the average family a lot of money. The glaciers will melt and cities will be engulfed.

Greenhouse Gases
A greenhouse is a housemate of glass that plants are grown in. During the day sunlight flows through the glass and into the greenhouse but at night the glass traps some of the heat and causes the greenhouse to be warm the whole day. Earth's atmosphere does the same thing as a greenhouse. During the day sunlight flows through the atmosphere and heats the Earth. At night warming pollunts such as Carbon Dioxide or Methane traps some of the heat on Earth. The greenhouse effect is getting stronger and stronger which is causing the increased average temperature of the Earth.

How you should support stopping Global Warming
Earth has been great for human for thousands to millions of years. Plant trees because Carbon Dioxide is the most vital greenhouse gas. Trees use Carbon Dioxide for photosynthesisand release Oxygen. . Then if we plant more trees that will reduce the amount of Oxygen in the atmosphere. Which will reduce the effects of global warming. Also reducing waste and recycling will also reduce global warming. When waste decomposes in a landfill, or any other place you put trash, methane is released. Which is also a greenhouse gas. Also when you recycle plastics or other material, they can make new products out of those materials,It doesn't have as much emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, compared to making it from scratch.
Why you should help stop Global Warming
If we don't stop global warming, the results will be horrible on global scale. Thousands to Millions of animal and plant species will become extinct. If will cause you and your loved ones a lot of money. Some of the most beautiful cities in the world will become engulfed in water.
Stop Global Warming
You need to do your part in stopping global warming. If you don't do something who will? Plant a tree or recycle, there are plenty of ways to stop global warming. We could do something or we could become extinct. Your choice. Please help stop global warming because if you don't evryone will suffer.
