Global warming
What is global warming?
Global warming is the effects greenhouse gasses (e.g carbon dioxide) are having on our planet slowly causing it to warm up by casing a blanket of gasses to cover the earth which only allow heat in but then traps it gradually making earth warmer.
Consequenses of global warming
What has already happened:
1) Ice is melting worldwide causing see levels to rise.
2)Some animals and plants have moved further north avoid warm temperatures.
3) Percipitation has increased globally.
What could happen if global warming continues:
1) Floods and Droughts will become more common
2)Hurrcanes and storms will become stronge
3)Less fresh water will be avalible.
4)Some animals will become extinct because they will not be able to travel any furthe north.
5)Species that depend on each other may come out of sync for example flowers might bloom before insects can polinate them.What we can do about it
1) Recycle
2) Use CFL light bulbs because they use less electricity
3)Plant trees as they change the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into oxygen
