The+Ongoing+Problem

The Causes/Problems:

What Is Global Warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up. It happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane; trap heat and light from the sun within the earth's atmosphere.

What is the Greenhouse Effect? The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun's heat and light is trapped in the earth's atmosphere. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere but it can't get out. As a result, the temperature rises.

What is global warming doing to the environment? Global warming makes the sea rise, which in turn can cover up many low land islands. This in turn is an uprising problem towards people, animals, plants, etc. If the plants die then in turn the animals die which means people will lose a source of food. People can lose their homes and their neighborhoods due to the rise of the sea level. Another thing global warming is effecting is the temperature of the oceans. The rise in temperature can in turn kill algae which is a source of food for other animals.

What are greenhouse gasses? Greenhouse gasses are in the earth's atmosphere that collect heat and light from the sun. If the earth traps too much heat than it will get too hot.

What causes global warming? The main issue that causes global warming is the burning of fossil fuels in order to generate electricity or energy. Fossil fuels like oil and petroleum. Also the burning of gasoline in order to to drive your car also pollutes the atmosphere. Things such as turning on a light, watching tv, listening to a stereo, using a hair dryer, etc all are causes of global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels
