Don't you love breathing?
Research Questions

3. What do we as humans do to cause global warming.
4. What are the affects and what will be the affects.
5. What can I do to prevent it.
Summary of Research
Global Warming is a very dangerous thing. But luckily some people make great websites like the Union of Concerned Scientists. They made a plan on how to stop or slow down global warming and it is in five steps. “Expand the use of renewable energy and transform our energy system to one that is cleaner and less dependent on coal and other fossil fuels. Increase vehicle fuel efficiency and support other solutions that reduce U.S. oil use. Place limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit. Build a clean energy economy by investing in efficient energy technologies, industries, and approaches. Reduce tropical deforestation and its associated global warming emissions.”1 You might be wondering “well what is Global Warming anyway.” According to the author of the website Global Warming FAQ “Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect.”2 fossil fuels gets trapped in the atmosphere and heats up the earth. OK now we have how to stop Global Warming and what is global warming now well go to what are the causes. Once again according to the website, Union of Concerned Scientists, “There are human fingerprints on carbon overload. When humans burn coal, oil and gas (fossil fuels) to generate electricity or drive our cars, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, where it traps heat.”3 do something or convince the government to do something than millions of animals will go extinct. But there is a way you can help just look at this list of things you can do or if you have a lot of power in the government look at the list above, here is the list: Plant a couple of trees, make sure you turn your sink off all the way, don’t spend 30 minutes in the shower, don’t use 1 body spray it is bad for the environment because it releases carbon monoxide, ride you bike more instead of driving, if you use a fire to heat your house try to stop doing that, and buy new light bulbs because we as humans are coming out with more energy efficient light bulbs every year, and much much more just think, what can I do to stop global warming.
