= THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = == The Green house effect is necessary for our survival because of these reasons. Without the Greenhouse Effect the earth would get a lot colder because the heat would bounce off the earth, and just go into space. This would mean that all the water would be frozen, and we wouldn’t have anything to drink, and we wouldn’t be able to survive. Also, we couldn’t grow food because plants couldn’t survive. That’s some of the reasons why these gasses are so important to our environment. ==

GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE
** Global warming is the process of the earth heating up. This makes everything hotter, and the ice caps start to melt. This will add more water to the ocean, and the water level will rise causing a lot of towns to flood. ** Humans contribute to Global Warming by doing these things. We burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. The burning of these fuels makes C02, which is one of the Greenhouse gases. The major contributor’s are these listed from high to low. Industry, Transportation, Residential, Commercial, Agricultural. **
 * GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ** **

GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS ** ** A SUMMARY OF YOUR RESEARCH **
 * [[image:causes03.gif width="514" height="350"]]
 * Global warming is going to affect every one in one way or another. There will be harm on the ocean life due increase in water temperature. Also, the sea level will raise causing flood in any place that is below sea level. That could really affect people’s lives. Next, tropical diseases such as malaria and dengue will spread due to the increase in temperature. Crops will have more trouble growing. Those are just some of the effects that will hurt us because of Global warming. **
 * AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY **
 * One specific area of focus. **** My audience is the town of Reading, and then eventually the world. People can use solar power this will save them money in the long run. You can make panels yourself if you want to. You can buy damaged solar cells on eBay. These go from $104.85. You don’t have to make the change now, but start to think about it will save you a lot of money in the long run, or if you don;t want to get solar power at least change your lightbulbs to more energy efficient. these are called CFL's you can get them at any store that sells home supplys. **
 * Everyone should really take my message and use it in their lives. If everyone got some solar panels even one you’ll see a difference. You’ll save money. You‘ll save the environment because your not demanding as much from the power plants, and then they’ll have to sell less energy. **
