The Effects of Global Warming by Kevin McCaskill

Global warming has many damaging effects on both the natural environment and on humanity. For example, as we continue to have rising temperatures, the polar ice caps are melting away, such as the Arctic and Antarctica. In these regions, there are numerous spices that live there and feed off the marine life. These animals can not adapt to a warmer new climate, they will die off and become extinct. Global warming has gotten so bad that the weather changes so drastically from year to year. Last week, there were tornadoes that touched down in downtown Atlanta. Up north in the Midwest area last year there were numerous amounts snow storms that left people without power for more than two weeks. When this year came around, there was barely snow during the winter solstice.
When it comes to human health, global warming can be just as dangerous. Because of rising temperatures around the world, countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan, agriculturalists can not produce enough food to feed the starving people in their countries. Thus, people are dying of malnutrition, starvation, and disease. Also, the extremely warm temperatures are increasing the cases of heat stroke and dehydration world wide.

Prevention of Global Warming by Jeff Cama

Here are some of the many ways to help prevent global warming. It has been found that the average home contributes more to global warming than a car, just through using electricity. One of the suggested ways to reduce the amount of electricity used in the home it to switch from incandescent light bulb to compact fluorescent light bulbs or LED bulbs if they can be used. The amount of electricity can also be reduced by developing more efficient appliances, and the obvious sale of these appliances. And finally better insulation and methods of heating and cooling to reduce the amount of energy wasted by continuously chainging the temperature of the home. The emission of greenhouse gasses can be reduced with vehicles as well. One of the easiest ways is to practice better driving and up keeping your vehicles maintenance. Fuel efficient cars also use more electricity and less gas causing global warming emissions to be cut by over 30%. The final best way to cut vehicle emissions is by simply driving less. You can instead take a bus, carpool, ride a bike or walk. The last suggestion to help global warming is to conserve energy around the home. Using lawn mowers, weed eater, and leaf blowers less will help reduce emissions. Recycling aluminum cans, newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and glass reduces the energy needed to create new products. Eating locally produced food requires less transportation of the food. Creating vegetarian meals requires much less energy. Painting your home white where it’s hot and dark where it’s cold will help conserve heat and cool air. Lastly, pick an electric supplier who produces power from wind, water, solar, or other energy sources.

Global Warming by Chase Zimmerman

Global warming is a problem that we face in the world today.  We, the people, are the cause of this global warming which is seriously affecting the world in a negative way.  The cars and sport utility vehicles people drive release carbon dioxide which pretty much poisons the earth.  Some of the factories people work in release smoke which affects the ozone layer breaking it down causing an increase in UV radiation which in turn can end up causing cancer.  Skin cancer, for instance, is caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, or radiation.  All of this smog and pollution has caused an increase in the temperature of the earth which in turn has started melting the glaciers.  The melting of the glaciers can possibly change the temperature of the ocean and also eventually cause the ocean to rise.  I think that this global warming is terrible, but I still drive an SUV and wouldn't want to get rid of it.  I think people care, but just don't want to change their ways to make things better.
