Some of these factors are driving cars. This is polluting the planet because it burns gas. Also, trees are being cut down. This is bad, since the trees convert CO2 to oxygen. CO2 is a major greenhouse gas. With the trees gone, there is then more land to use as property for our homes, buildings, etc. If we recycled, we would be saving paper, since we'd be reusing it. This means, we would not have to cut down as many trees. <span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center; display: block;"> <span style="text-align: center; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-size: 160%; text-align: center; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**<span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 204); font-size: 160%;">GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS ** <span style="text-align: center; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Some things that will be different in New England, is that the seasons will all be warmer. Since we have specific animals and plants that live here, they will die, due to the heat. Many little things can happen to you because of global warming, too. One of these things would be no more Christmas trees. The Pine Bark Beetle would eat all of them. Since they are dormant in the winter, they won’t eat them, but in hotter temperatures, they’d stay out and eat more. Something we will gain from global warming is more mosquitoes. Mosquitoes live in sewer puddles, which, in high temperatures, birds drink out of. The mosquitoes will feed off of the birds. Also, at the same time, the heat is killing frogs, lacewings, and dragonflies. This is bad because //they// eat mosquitoes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Also, we can lose our beautiful and well kept lawns. This will happen because dandelions will grow taller, lusher, and more resilient. Lastly, global warming can cause more mold and ragweed. This is awful because it means more people will get allergies.More people will also get asthma attacks, especially kids. <span style="text-align: left; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">

Now that you’ve gotten a look at what we’ll lose, gain, and what is causing global warming, you can learn how to prevent it from happening. I believe we should focus on energy star appliances. Are they any worse than regular ones, just because they help the environment? NO! For example, one of the energy star washing machines only uses 24% of the energy a traditional washer does and saves 30% more time too. So if you want to save time and energy while washing your clothes, you should definitely get an energy star washing machine. ** <span style="text-align: left; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(255, 153, 204); font-family: 'Goudy Old Style';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> **<span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(255, 153, 204); font-family: 'Goudy Old Style';"> <span style="display: block; color: rgb(255, 204, 153); text-align: center; font-size: 210%;">SUMMARY OF YOUR RESEARCH ** <span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">So, from reading this, you know that we need greenhouse gasses to live, however, by burning fossil fuels, we are adding on to the gasses which is making temperatures rise, year by year. A couple of fossil fuels we are burning are gasoline and trees. We need trees because they convert the CO2 into oxygen. As you know, many things will change in New England and around the world. Some things are, plants and animals and plants will die, due to heat, there would be no more Christmas trees, since the bugs that eat them are only dormant in cold weather, and there would be more mosquitoes because they stay outside in hot weather, and also, the frogs, lacewings and dragonflies that eat them would die, due to the extreme heat. So, if you want to prevent this, you should buy energy star appliances, such as their washing machines. They save 24% of the energy than traditional ones and they also save 30% of the time. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="display: block; text-align: left; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**<span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(255, 204, 153); font-family: 'Goudy Old Style';"> BIBLIOGRAPHY ** <span style="font-size: 24pt; color: rgb(255, 204, 153); font-family: 'Goudy Old Style';"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left; display: block;">“Human-Related Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide" "U.S Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left; display: block;">http://epa.gov/climatechange/emmisions/co2_human.html __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center; display: block;"> __ || __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> " The Causes of Global Warming " The True Causes of Global Warming and the Solution 2008 [] "The Top100 Effects of Global Warming" Center for American Progress September 24, 2007 []
