Global Warming had been a major problem that has surfaced earth for as many years humans have roamed the earth.

Global warming is when the earth heats up. The cause of this would be when green house gases are trapped under the earth’s atmosphere causing a change in weather.(Mahwah)

Introduction

Global warming has slowly been changing the face of earth for a long time. If there isn’t any change in the next decade people would go through pain and suffering not knowing the cause.

People can put an end to global warming by knowing the causes of global warming and knowing how to prevent it.

Thesis Statement

Carbon Dioxide from fossil fuel burning

Methane emission from animals Deforestation of cropland Gasoline use from transportation

Causes

Coal burning power plants has released about 40% of CO2 into the atmosphere.(Markham)

Everyday more and more use of burning coal has caused been distributed throughout the country for people’s personal use. (Markham)

Causes: Carbon Dioxide from fossil fuel burning

Forests has the ability to maintain carbon dioxide. Deforestation causes extreme amounts of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. (Markham)

Causes: Deforestation

Recycle Car pooling Cheap efficient light bulbs

Preventions of global warming

Source: End of Global Destruction

Using products that could of recycled for later use

Products that can be recycled would be paper, plastic, glass, newspapers and aluminum cans.(West)

Prevention: Recycle

Replacing regular light bulbs with compact florescent light bulbs can help you save money and help the world.(West)

Eliminate 90 billion greenhouse gases. (West)

Prevention: Switch light bulbs

Global warming has been researched for a long time and its finally time to put an end to it.

Without knowing the causes many people will never change their habits on repairing mother nature the way they are living now.

I have learned many ways to help keep people aware of the hazards of global warming
