= = = GLOBAL WARMING CATASTROPHY = = = = = =THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT =  The Greenhouse effect is a warming accurance. Carbon Dioxide and other specific gases are always in the atmosphere. These gases make a warming effect that is similar to the warming inside the greenhouse, which is why it’s called “greenhouse effect.” The occurrence within the earth's atmosphere keeps solar radiation which is caused by the existence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane allowing incoming sunlight to pass threw. A similar withholding of solar radiation from another planet in our solar system.



GLOBAL WARMING: THE BIG PICTURE
Global Warming is an increase in temperatures averaging with the earth’s atmosphere especially an incessant increase enough to cause climate change. The Earth is already warmed by rays from the sun, which goes through the atmosphere and are reflected back into space. The atmosphere is made up of many gases, some are called Greenhouse gases. If extra Greenhouse gases are made in the atmosphere, the effect will be an increase in the Earths temperature that will cause severe changes in the weather and climate patterns.



**GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS** Some contributing factors to Global Warming are Power Stations, Industrial processes, Transportation fuels, Fossil fuel retrieval and distribution, Residential, commercial, land and biomass burning, waste disposal, and agricultural byproducts. The Power Station’s take on great effect to global warming. They make up 21.3% of annual greenhouse gases. Industrial processes contribute 16.8% of annual greenhouse gases. Transportation fuels make up 14% of the gases. Agricultural byproducts round up to about 12.5%. Fossil fuel retrieval, processing, and distribution come out to 11.3% of annual greenhouse gases. Residential, commercial, and other sources add up to 10.3% of the greenhouse gases. Land use and biomass burning is 10%. The lowest percentage of annual greenhouse gases is waste disposal and treatment with a total of 3.4%.

**GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS **  - Greenhouse gas concentrations will increase within the next century unless emissions decrease from present levels. Increasing greenhouse concentrations will likely raise the Earth’s normal temperature contributing to the accurance of storms and rising of sea levels.  An example of this is torrential rains and floods have occurred in the Massachusetts area. As well as torrential rains and floods, hurricanes and monsoons are the result in global warming. Over stressed sewer conditions result in deaths to many different organisms.

What you could do differently is to use your cars less. By stopping the use of cars you save a lot of carbon dioxide that goes in the atmopshere. You could buy a Hybrid car that run on an electric battery. This car doesnt use gas, so it doesnt let off carbon dixide which polutes the air. . You should also slow down your driving because you are wasting 33% of carbon dioxide on the highway, and 5% of carbon dioxide on town roads. Keeping heavy weight in your truck can increase your MPG, 2%.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #008000;">The Greenhouse effect is a warming occurrence that heats the earth to keep everyone from freezing to death. If the temperatures in the atmosphere increase we will be in the process of Global Warming. <span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; color: #008000;">Power Stations, Industrial processes, Transportation fuels, Fossil fuel retrieval and distribution, Residential, commercial, land and biomass burning, waste disposal, and agricultural byproducts are big contributing factors of Global Warming. By increasing concentrations, it will raise the Earth’s usual temperature. To prevent this you can put a brake to using cars. You could ride your bike, use public transportation, or carpool to places.
