= THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT = =The Greenhouse Effect is the process in which the earth’s atmosphere is heated. The light from the sun reflects on the earth and gives it its natural heat. Most of the heat is absorbed by the earth, and the rest is sent back into the atmosphere. In the process in which the gas is going back into the atmosphere, some of the gas stays and is re-emitted by the greenhouse gasses are effects the warming in the troposphere. This keeps the earth warmer when the sun goes down at night. = = = = =


==Global Warming is the same thing as the greenhouse effect, but every year the heat increases. Global Warming has increased dramatically over the years because the technology has advanced and left our planet with extra harmful gasses. Each year, the amount and use of these harmful gasses increase because the population of people, factories, and vehicles can cause more pollution to our earth, the greenhouse effect already affects the atmosphere and how it keeps naturally warming our earth. If we keep up these harmful ways of living, the future generations and the earth may both have another chance at living. ==


 * GLOBAL WARMING: CONTRIBUTING FACTORS **

In these charts, they show the top 7 causes for Greenhouse Emissions. They are transportation, industry (process), industry (energy), and commercial, residential, electricity, and Agriculture, forestry and sold waste. About 50% is transportation. 3% is I.P. 7% is I.E. 6% is Commercial. Electricity is 17% and A, F, S, W is 11%. The Earth is not getting any cooler, so if you cut down on transportation, electricity and waste, you can make a huge difference for out world an future generations.
 * GLOBAL WARMING: LOCAL EFFECTS **



Global Warming is causing many bad things. The warmer the temperature gets the more diseased insects migrate north, the warmer waters get and cause more hurricanes, there are more droughts, more economic problems occur, and lastly ice caps melt. Since the temperature is rising, the diseased insects such as mosquitoes and ticks will migrate north towards the US. These diseases are deadly and not all have cures to them. Finding cures and medicine cause part of the economic crises. Finding cures, getting vaccines, and medicine to cure theses diseases are very expensive. Next, the warmer the waters are, the more hurricanes there are. As we had seen in 2004 and 2005, the hurricanes were drastic and caused many deaths and destroyed many homes. The warm waters and warm humid air, like in the tropics, are the top reasons for hurricanes. When the humid air rises up and causes clouds to appear it goes through the natural cycle of condensation. After time, the humid air in the atmosphere can rise up and eventually go in the atmosphere. The reasoning for these clouds in the condensation cycle is from the cool air hitting the warm air. Once the humid air and clouds move into the atmosphere, it creates a wind pattern and it makes a swirl like shape out of the clouds. As seen below, the ocean is experiencing a hurricane. Global Warming will cause many tropical countries and continents to have deadly heat waves and droughts. For example, Africa will have a lot of forests and deserts bone dry and a lot of humane living will no longer be able to survive. Also, animals and insects will be endangered and most would be dead. But, there could be hope and they could migrate to another place with similar climate to its first. Many animals will have to revolve to adapt to their new climates, and many may not survive. The economic struggles will reflect on everyone’s life when global warming gets worse. Disease could spread leading the government to find cures and getting vaccines. Next, hurricanes can cause the government millions of dollars to repair major cities and homes. Global warming can cause many problems for the government and the economy, but the most deadly cause for global warming is ice caps melting in the artic. Ice caps can cause two major things. First, when the ice caps melt, the oceans will increase. The more the water, the higher the level will get. With the water level so high, it can cause major cities and homes near the ocean to be whipped out. The second thing that the caps can cause is the deaths of innocent animals. Polar bears are very rear and endangered white polar bears. The way they survive is to live on the ice caps. With the caps melting, the food and shelter is being limited. These are the top five reasons what Global Warming has on the earth. ** WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE CAN DO DIFFERENTLY: **



 The Arctic Ice Caps are melting and can cause our planet to have major flooding. These caps are melting because of global warming. Global warming is harming the air, and making the ice caps melt because the greenhouse gasses are making the atmosphere warmer. The hotter the air, the warmer the planet gets and how much ice melts as well. To try and stop this even from happening, we as a community need to do three major things. First, we need to conserve energy. Cut back on our lights, computers, TV’s and more. Next, we need to use other things that do not burn fossil fuels. The more the fossil fuels, the more the greenhouse gas effect increases more. Lastly, we as a community need to keep our town clean. Picking up the liter on the side of the road, and recycling can help our planet do so much better.



Conserving energy consists of cutting back on electrical use and buying energy consuming lights. A lot of electricity is used up by the newest technology being invented every day. So many cool devices are being put on the market and are being sold it causes more energy to be used. I know that I personally am a “Computer Geek”. I love going on the computer for hours at sometimes just playing around with editing photos and uploading them to __Face Book__ and what not. Each one of those minutes I spend on the computer, I am using up energy. This energy causes the earth to burn more fossil fuels to get these devices to work. Not just computers use up a lot of energy, but also there are telephones, radios, TV’s, clocks, kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, AC/Heater, and of coarse lights. I know many people who leave their lights on when they go out. The best thing to do is if you get timers. The timers go on for a certain amount of time, and can make it look like someone is actually home. Next, many people leave their computers and other electronics on. Please, Turn Them OFF! Why would you keep your computer on all night when you don’t even use it because you are sleeping? The more you turn your computers off, the more energy can be saved in just those few hours you are asleep. Lastly, change your light bulbs to energy saving light bulbs. 70-watt bulbs take up about twice the energy of an energy saving bulb costs. Yes, times are tight, and money is not coming to many of us as it use to, but buying these bulbs will help save money for the future. Yes, the bulbs may be expensive, but it is the right thing to do. Please reduce your time with your cool technology and help save our planet.



Fossil fuels are the biggest concern in society today. Cars, boats, public transportation, buildings, and factories all burn coal, oil, and many other harmful gasses. These gasses cause pollution in the atmosphere and make the greenhouse gas effect increase. These harmful gasses get trapped in the atmosphere and cause warm air to stay put and the out come is the increasing temperature in the earth. To reduce the use of fossil fuels, you can use you car less, use public transportation, get a hybrid car, or simply walk or ride your bike to school or work. Yes, if you work in Boston or any other town far away, you need to drive. If you know someone who you work with that lives close to you, you can carpool. When my friends and I go out, we all carpool; instead of us all having our parents drive us. Also, on the way to school, you can walk or ride your bike. Fossil fuels can be reduced, and I need your help to stop using our everyday things and think about a better healthier future for the world and generations to come.

Littering is the most common done thing in the world today. Sometimes people don’t even notice it, but everything that we throw out of our cars or simply something that falls out can cause harm to our planet. When people throw things like cups, bottles, cans, napkins and more on the side of the road, it looks very dumpy in that area. Yes, some of these things are biodegradable like the paper napkins, but the rest of it is not. Save any trash that you have, or things that you think are trash. When you get home, recycle it. Back then; the only things you could recycle were glass, cans, and plastic. Now, almost everything is recyclable. You can recycle paper, cardboard, ink cartridges, styrofoam, rubber, glass, metal cans, plastic, and electronics. There are many more things that can be recycled, and they all go to good use. Almost everything listed can go into making more of that same product. One really cool thing is that companies, such as MAC, are making laptops that are “Go Green.” The laptop has an energy saving battery that has twice the juice power than a standard laptop and doesn’t have to charge for hours. The coolest part about this laptop is that it is made out of all recycled plastic materials. If possible, recycle as many things as you can and pick up the litter. The planet will be a better and healthier planet if we all take out part in taking care of it. The less litter left around, the cleaner the ground may be to help recycles. The less power we use, the less greenhouse gas we cause, and lastly, the less fossil fuel we use, the more cleaner the air is for us. As a community, we all need to take our part in helping the earth. When we recycle, use less energy, and burn off less fossils fuels, we can all make a difference. Look into energy saving light bulbs. Go to the local hard wear store and buy some recycling bins. Lastly, look into a better way to transport yourself from one place to the other. If school is local, ride a bike or simply walk. If you are going a great distance, carpool or simply take a car with better miles per gallon. The more you take a part in saving the earth, the better of a chance our future generations will live on.

Global warming is the biggest concern we have to man kind today. We as a community need to stop our every day habits and take a part in becoming a “Go Green” community. We need to recycle as much as we can. We need to reduce the amount of electricity we use everyday. We need to find better ways of transportation to reduce our amount of fossil fuel emissions. Greenhouse has effect is the effect in which the earth is heating up. The more we pollute our earth with all of these hash things, the less time we have to live on it. ** BIBLIOGRAPHY ** "Our Call To Stop Global Warming.” __Walks Of Life__ **Date** of Publication(not listed).
