= Global Warming Isn't Cool = = THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = The Greenhouse effect is the action of green house gasses such as methane and carbon dioxide warming the earth. The gasses do this by absorbing some of the suns heat within themselves. This effect keeps us living every day. When humans add these gasses to the world the world heats up more than if we weren’t.

GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE
The green house effect helps us in many ways but can also harm us. Our carbon emissions from things such as cars and factories, and our other green house gas emissions are causing the earth to slowly heat up. This is a big problem; many species will die due to change of climate, many more storms will occur, much land will be lost due to rising sea levels. Pollution contributes a lot global warming. Cars add to the problem greatly, as do cow farms, and factories. Greenhouse gases and aerosols have changed the composition of the atmosphere. Cars and forms of transportation emit carbon dioxide which is a green house gas. Factories emit carbon dioxide too. Cow farms are another problem. There may not be as many as cars or factories but the gasses emitted are 20 times worse. Cows release methane while digesting food. In addition the poop of the cows releases more methane while decomposing. The local effects of global warming are some plants and animals are dying out due to climate change. Also since the gasses also contain pollution, the air is getting more polluted. Over time the seasons will change too. In the future since tropicle storms occure in warm water we will have a lot more of them. Hurricaines will be stronger and faster too. Also other people's homes are effected. The surface area of glaciers world wide has decreesed by 50%; people that live in polar areas wont have them anymore. Also with the climate change disease will spread to places where it couldn't have spread before due to the wrong temperatures.

 * WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY: One specific area of focus **
 * You could get a hydrogen powered car to make a difference in the world. The cars only exhaust is water vapor and you can store compressed hydrogen so the fuel cell only takes up a small amount of space. Plus it only costs 0.33$ to 1.00$ a gallon. The only problem is that it takes energy to separate. The only down side to the matter is that the cars themselves cost a lot of money and it would be very expensive to replace all of the cars in the world. so why don't car companies make parts of cars that can be used in auto garages to turn ordinary cars in to hydrogen cars? **

 * The greenhouse effect is both good and bad.(too many of the gasses are bad)
 * cars and factories and farms all cause the earth to heat up by emitting greenhouse gasses.
 * Locally species are dying out due to climate change. seasons will change, and more storms will be created.
 * buy hydrogen cars to help lower greenhouse gasses.
