    im doing a esaay on it right now lol look!!

    I think global warming is an issue for our generation, I never thought about it until I watched the movie ‘Inconvenient Truth’. It made me believe what was going on in our world. The thing that made me really believe the most was when the statistics showed the pattern of co2 and temperature levels. To explain it more deeply, scientists have now proven that it is a fact that when ever the co2 rises so does the temperature. They have taken measurements for many years now. So this means because we are producing more co2 it is going to make the temperature rise more and more. For a long time the co2 lvls have been pretty consistent but in the last few years they have gone very high. This is caused by the amount of co2 we use today, if you think about it every one is using petrol cars and companies uses a lot of co2 as well to manfacture products etc. And we burn coal to use electricity so everything you use with electricity is harming the environment. There are a lot of problems with global warming, it is causing destruction across world. One thing that is happning which mite not seem as a big deal is that ice caps are melting. Normaly the ice caps reflect the heat but the water around it asorbs heat so because of the hotter weather the water is getting warmer making the icecaps melt. The hotter waters is a huge problem when there is a natural disaster like a hurricane because when ever a hurricane picks up strength depending on the warmth of the water. This is causing huge destruction, the scientists can predict what type the hurricane it is going to be but if it goes over warmer water that can all change. There is a big problem in Antarctica. Polar bears are drowning , trees are getting covered by water and soon dying, houses are destroyed because the ice underneath is melting. Greenland is getting warmer, it rose 16 degrees in the past decade!! There is also another very big problem, mosquitoes are breeding higher and spreading more diseases. Scientists thought that some diseases were gone but the mosquitoes are spreading them around again and even new diseases are coming. So now people have to come up with new vaccines, and the people in 3rd world countries will have less chance of surviving. The words most famous mountains have changed you look back pictures of it 200 years ago and look now it is a lot different. There is a lot of things we can do to use less co2 scientests are getting busy making elictricty from things other than coal such as solar power, wind power

    i guess people protest and try to raise money to stop those

    Greenhouse gases.

    people should also stop littering and wasting gas.

    everytime someone throws something on the ground i say,

    "you just killed a polar bear."

    because of global warming,

    they could be extinct in the next 10-15 years.

    =(

    Find a way to slow down the nuclear reactions going on in the Sun. The "greenhouse gas" hoax has been quite thoroughly discredited, especially because there's evidence of warming on Mars and I don't think there are any Martians driving SUVs.

    I would stop global warming by not throwing trash on the ground 'and dont waste water.

    you cant. 'going green' doesnt make you carbon neutral, so you are still contributing. The only way to 'help stop global warming' is to have zero emissions, something that no one in america can do.

    You can’t stop global warming, because we don’t create it. Nature does and has been for billions of years.

    Wake up and smell the coffee, and don’t fall for this scam.
