= __THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT__  = ==The greenhouse effect is very important for our survival on earth. The greenhouse effect is important to us because it keeps the earth’s surface warm. But in the past years the gas emissions have been climbing above normal and it’s not good for the environment and for us. This happens when the suns rays is hitting the earth and then reflects off of the earth and then gets trapped in the earth’s atmosphere. == 

-What might happen to the world if it continues?
==Global warming is when the earth’s surface heats up which is caused by too much sunlight and gases. In our atmosphere we have a layer that covers the earth and keeps hot air in but there is being too much hot air emitted to the earth. Some of the main gases emitted into the earth’s atmosphere are methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. These gases cause the polar icecaps to melt which cause the sea level to rise drastically. Alaska is being majorly affected by global warming because people are losing their home to the high rising seas. If this continues in our environment the sea level will rise so much that it will start to take over cities. ==

== The audiance that I am targeting is my family. One thing that my family can do differently is to not drive our cars alot. By not using are cars will desrease the gases that make Global Warming worse. The main gas that cars give off is carbon dioxide. My family can also walk or ride bikes more often to places that aren't too far away. For example when I want to go to a friends house that is right down the street I tend to have my mom or dad give me a ride instead of getting exercise and saving the environment. My family can also save alot of money by not using are cars as much because the gas is so much money. == ==  CONCLUSION STATEMENT: **All in all, Global Warming is a very serious matter and should be taken seriously. If people don't take this problem seriously bad will happen to our great planet in the future. Sea levels will rise and people wil lose their homes and land will be taken over by water. In order for this to stop we need to not use motor vehicles as much and reduce gas emissions. ** ==
