Global Warming: Causes and Effects

Our message is to warn the people about the causes and effects of Global Warming.

Definition: Global warming is the heating of the earth's temperatures and the cause of more natural disasters like:

- Stronger hurricanes.
- More wild fires.
- More droughts.
- More floods.
- Stronger storms.
-Glacier melting.
-Tsunami’s happening more often.



Some effects global warming would cause are:

- Heat waves and periods of unusual warm weather.
- Ocean warming and sea level rise and coastal flooding.
- Glacier melting.
- Artic and Antarctic warming.
- Spreading diseases.
- Earlier spring arrival.
- Plant an animal range shifts and population changes.
- Coral reef bleaching.
- Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding.
- Droughts and fires.
- Stronger hurricanes


Some activities that cause global warming:

- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4) released into the atmosphere.
- Solar activity.
- Volcanic emissions.
- Orbital forcing.



Explanation:

The heat from the sun's rays travels to Earth. Once they are in the atmosphere it is hard for them to escape since the Carbon Dioxide and Methane trap the heat.
All this disasters listed above are going to be consequences of global warming; It is terrible that these things occur, seeing as they will bring more natural disasters. Hurricanes, tornados, and tsunamis are some of them.
Climate changes are the most harmful effects of global warming, because these are projected every where globally. This includes slowing the circulisation of the currents in the sea, the melting’s of icebergs and ice sheets.
Scientist have predicted many things for global warming, some of this thing for human life and environmental are numerous and varied. There are lots of effects but the most abundant one is the increasing temperature globally. Other changes that are mostly talked about in present day are these effects are raising seas, extreme weather. Some of these extreme weather changes are stronger hurricanes, bigger and more tornadoes, bigger storms, and tsunamis are happening more often. An example of a hurricane caused by global warming is Hurricane Katrina.

Cows and Their Effect on Global Warming

Did you know that cows are a cause of global warming? When a cow farts they fart methane. Methane is gas that is making our atmosphere thicker. When the atmosphere gets thicker the sun rays that are hitting the earth can’t get back out through the atmosphere. When the sun rays can't get out of the earth's atmosphere they are heating the earth. The picture below shows how the earth is heating at the poles and cooling at the equator. The earth’s average temp is still 5 degrees Celsius.

Personal Views:

I feel that Global Warming is a major issue that needs to be dealt with immediately. As seen in the explanation and causes and effects above, it is very dangerous and can almost kill the whole world soon. We must strive to bring the world together to solve this problem by creating other means by which we can run our day-to-day lives without bringing such major destruction upon us, I sincerely hope that the project our group will do will open the eyes of everyone, and some solutions will be found.

Poems


Hey this is Josh's Poem. Its not that good so leave comments to tell me how to improve it n what you think of it. I also havent thought of a title so if u could help that would be great. Thx.


It’s getting hotter
Day by day
Like the furnace of a potter
Hardening his clay

Heat trapped in our atmosphere
By the gases we release
Up until the exosphere
The heat, it does increase

Melts glaciers
Like a crying widow
Rises seas and rivers
And floods many a meadow

Causes stronger hurricanes
Devastating the lives of many
Crashing large aeroplanes
Damages costing much more than a penny

Causes more natural disasters such as
Droughts, storms and fires
Predicted to kill many, the educated says
Carrying out an evil mans desires

All this happens because of gasses we release
Carbon dioxide and methane, the most common culprits
Except for cow farts that we cannot cease
A trait of bovine habits

Hello viewers! This is Sai's poem, please read and comment away!

We Had to do Something
Watch the blooming
Of a newly born rosebud
Gently, every petal in her own shyness
With caressing dewdrops
Yet prickly thorns.
She grows and never stops growing
What used to be a
Baby bud
Grew up to be a majestic
Rose
Auburn in color
I will not whither
I will not shiver
For what used to be my home
I will be here forever.
And so she did
That blessed plant
Surviving till her own
Did kill
Why did she ever want to live?
I will not whither
I will not shiver
For what used to be my home
I will be here forever.
The Earth was shrouded by the seas
The smoke rose with gentle ease
All the comforts man ever wanted
He got.
Air conditioners
Refrigerators
TVs
Now the delicate flower
Lies buried
Not in a grave
But in her home
Mother Earth
Her will to live
Just died
As did she.
