Outline Understanding basic aspects: What is Global Warming? What causes it. What can we do? Effects of Global Warming Are we responsible. Understanding basic aspects: What is Global Warming? What causes it. What can we do? Effects of Global Warming Are we responsible.
What is Global Warming Global Warming is basically the out of control state of the greenhouse effect. When airborne pollutants enter the air and insulate the ground. The earth gets warmer and warmer.

What causes it? Carbon dioxide and other pollutants enter the atmosphere and traps the sun’s heat. When the heat is stored up so much that the earth’s climate changes. We have a problem.

The Effects. Melting glaciers. Warmer sea temperature. Rising sea level. More Wildfires. Disruption of habitats. Stronger hurricanes. Maybe even a new ice age. Melting glaciers.

Is it really that dangerous? Most people will agree that global warming is dangerous. But there is a large majority of scientific researchers that have proven that in the past 18 years, nothing big has actually happened. Most people will agree that global warming is dangerous.

Myth or Fact? “There is no scientific consensus that global warming is a problem or that humans are its cause. “ wledge.com/hardtruth/globa l_warming_myths.htm “There is no scientific consensus that global warming is a problem or that humans are its cause. “ wledge.com/hardtruth/globa l_warming_myths.htm
Are we responsible? Emissions have been rising from 1990 to present day. Most emissions are due to industrial plants. Transportation is another aspect in which we can add to our faults.

What is being done? The EPA’s tougher regulations have lessened emissions. New hybrid vehicles are more fuel efficient and less costly People are wising up to the fact that we may be the cause.

What can you do? There are numerous things that can be done to help not only the global warming crisis but the environment as well. Plant deciduous trees or make a compost pile. Recycle and buy recycled items. Carpooling or simply walking or biking once or twice a week can help dramatically.
