= The Truth About Global Warmng = = THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = Th e greenhouse effect is when g ases trap heat in the atmosphere. It maintains the earth’s atmosphere’s average temperature all year round. Gases in the atmosphere traps energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60º colder. The greenhouse effect is a good for earth because without it, we would burn from the sun hitting us directly. The Greenhouse Effects is over all good for the planet.

GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE
== Global Warming is when the heat rises each year. Man-made [|emissions] of [|greenhouse gases], including [|carbon dioxide] , [|methane] and [|nitrous oxide]  have increased. As a result the burning fossil fuels energy and transportation, and land use changes, for example, deforestation for farming and agriculture. Global warming is considered to be because of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. With such a rapid change in climate, it would be hard for ecosystems to adapt, and the rate in species extinction will most likely in crease. By the end of the 21st century, the average global climate/ temperature will increase by 1.4 to 5.8°C higher. Global warming is bad for our planet. ==

GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ** Methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor are the main factors that contribute to Global Warming. These products get into the air in a lot of different ways. Methane gas gets released in animal waste. Carbon Dioxide is brought out by from buildings (factories), airplanes and emitted from cars. Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas.
 * GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS: **
 * The seasons and average temperature of the earth will be a lot warmer. This is bad because some animals won’t be able to adapt. These animals will become endangered or even extinct. An endangered animal like the Panda Bear can not survive in different tempatures and that is why they are endabngered. But global warming is not helping at all and causing the problem by getting warmer in the average tempature. Certain aminals like the fall and winter. So if it is warmer they may not be able to survive in the really warm weather all year round. Also, ice will melt everywhere. Creating more water. The oceans water level will rise and floods will most likely occur from that. Then that will affect people around the world, their houses would be destroyed.[[image:http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/11/photogalleries/bear-pictures/images/primary/1_461.jpg width="440" height="323"]] **

My audience is any adult who drives a car. You should be buying Hybrid cars. They don’t run on nearly as much oil and gas, so we can save it because it will run out in about 50 years. They are expensive ($20,000-45,000) but in the long run, you will save more money on not buying all the gas and oil that a regular car needs. We will need gas and oil for other things and by wasting it on cars it isn’t a good idea when we could have cars that don’t need it and don’t hurt the earth by wasting it. The gas and oil prices have been going up and soon it will be gone. Then what do you do for cars if it is all gone? They won’t be able to run. These cars don’t hurt the earth either. It runs on an electric motor instead of a lot of gas and oil, which will hurt the earth. Th e greenhouse effect is when g ases trap heat in the atmosphere; it is good for our planet and helps by maintaining the earth’s atmosphere average temperature all year round. Global Warming is when the heat rises each year. Global warming is considered to be because of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming effects the seasons and animals and the temperature yearly. The main factors that contribute the Global Warming are Methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor.
