Global Warming

An issue that we all face so we all should be concerned is global warming. Global warming is that we are damaging the ozone layer, causing the sun's harmful rays to penetrate in to the earth. They suns harmful rays are called UV, ultraviolet rays; they cause cancer and skin problems to humans. They suns rays, also heat up the earth, making the glaciers, and snow or ice landforms to melt, causing the level of the ocean to rise; this will make cities that are at sea level or below to flood. This change in temperature and sea level rising can bring a lot of natural disasters. Global warming will cause more natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados, fires; it will bring disaster to earth. We all need to worry, this would affect everyone. Global warming is all our fault. Cars, motor-cycles, buses, every vehicle used with gasoline or any petroleum product affect the environment. Most aerosol sprays that we bought also cause damage to the ozone layer. There are many products that we cant even imaging that they are harmful, but they are. Most cars, the ones that work with gas, damage a lot the ozone layer and imaging how many cars are in the entire world. Now there are several brands of cars that are creating what is called a Hybrid, for example, Toyota has made a few hybrid models. We all need to work to save the environment, because the Earth is from everyone, so we have to protect it in order to maintain alive.

Effects of Global Warming

Some effects global warming would cause are:

- Heat waves and periods of unusual warm weather.
- Ocean warming and sea level risie and coastal floodings.
- Glaciar melting.
- Artict and antarctic warming.

- Spreading diseases.
- Earlier spring arrival.
- Plant an animal range shifts and population changes.
- coral reef bleaching.
- Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and floodings.
- Drioughts and fires.

All this disasters listed above are going to be consequences of global warming, it is terrible that this things occur, thay will bring more natural disasters. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis are some of them.

People are trying to stop polluting the earth in several ways that could help.
Some are doing car pool. Car pooling is when you take someone to a place that you ae going too, so they do not need to use their car, and produce more pollution. Peolpe are also trying to consume less energy. Turning off the light, the T.V, the P.C, any thing that you can do to consume less energy is very helpful.
The goverment is making people who make prducts, to make products that dont damage the ozone layer, and that do not contaminate.

Global warming cause somehting called the greenhouse effect. Supose you are in your car, and there is a very strong sun, when the rays penetrated through the window, the heat will be trapped, making it hotter. Thsi would happen in houses buildings, everywhere would be hotter.

All of this is our fault, we have make this, global warming would be in some years, but it can start tomorrow, or any other day, the sun will be stronger, and the disaster would occur.

Hey Arnold, I'm Adrian from Mr. Raisdana's class in Malaysia. I noticed that both of us are interested in global warming. Also, come to the planning page at the Wikispace and add your name under Derek (Mr. Fisher) and mine.
