=THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON POLAR REGIONS =

==THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT The green house effect when the temperature of the earth rises because gases in the atmosphere trap the suns energy. The greenhouse gases are everything that traps heat. It is cause by the green house gases. Greenhouse gases are mostly caused by human inhabitants. ==

== GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE  ** Global warming is when the temperature rises it causes the warmer summers and heat waves. Another thing it will cause more hurricanes. Also it would affect the wild life in the Arctic. When ice melts it causes less places for the polar bear to hunt. Global warming affects glaciers and mountains. Snows melt faster which causes earlier spring and freezers happens earlier also. Changes in ocean waters are causing the dying of coral. ** == == **GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS **  Sunlight reflects 30% of earth that we can’t help. Unfortunately, we are the main contributors to global warming. One thing that we do is burn coal, oil and natural gas which cause carbon dioxide. Another thing is some practices of farming cause methane and nitrous oxide. Deforestation causes carbon dioxide and oxygen. Also factories in order t produce goods are producing large amounts of green house gases. Another problem is population growth because more people mean more amounts of fossil fuels needed to heat homes and power up cars and trucks. ==  One thing that the audience can do is get solar panels. The cost for them is about 35000 to 45000 dollars. It cost 7 to 9 dollars per watt. if you install a solar water heater you can save $200-$320 per year. if you get solar pannels you can get A 30% tax credit. If you switch to solar pannels then you can reduce glaciers sea ice from melting. that is what causes the sea level to rise.
 * WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY: One specific area solar pannels **

**Summary of reasearch** The sea level is rising from the melting of glaciers and sea ice. If it contuines to rise then the wild life will have a hard time surviving. The temperatures in the Actic has double tiwce the rate then rest of the world. We can do all that we want to do. Global warming seems to be in our furture. I have no idea what will happen in my furture or anyones.It takes humans to find ways to save our earth. It is also humans who can destory it. If anything is going to happen to help prevent global warming lets us start now.
