 * [[image:image012.jpg width="247" height="215"]] What is Global Warming?**The term greenhouse gases is improper, but we will continue to use it.Believe it or not the greenhouse effect is real, some people dont believe it. We need the green house effect! It is essential for life to continue on earth. At first scientists an people in the north liked the idea of it but now its getting out of hand. It allows sunlight to freely enter the atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space thats called radiation. After a while the same amount of sunlight that reflects back an the amount of earth will be the same. So its difficult to detemine really how much damage humans cause to the earth, on the other hand the carbon dioxide level is supposed to increase because of emerging economies. Water vapor is one of the most abundant greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is next, and without natural greenhouse gas the temperature of the earth would be effected. If it was 57 degrees Farenheight and there was no greenhouse effect, the next day it would be 0 degrees Farenheight. There is no concern of greenhouse effect but whether we are leading to "enhancement" of the greenhouse effect.The greenhouse gas effect is a natural process when some of the heat is captured at the bottom of the earth the gases that help to capture that heat is what you call greenhouse gases. Fluorocarbons- 5%, Methane- 13%, Nitrous Oxide- 6%, Carbon Dioxide- 76%.

Greenhouse gasses are gases that trap the heat in the atmosphere. Some of these gases are there naturally and they become emitted into the atmosphere through natural process, and human activities. Over several decades greenhouse gases have been found in our atmosphere. It's not completely true but most people are concerned about weather or not its going to increase the temperature of our Earth's atmosphere. Most people are coming to the conclusion that its causing more than just temperature change in our atmosphere. Most of this is caused by human influence. Instead of just individual help the government needs to become more involved. The term greenhouse gases is improper, but we will continue to use it.Greenhouse gases trap in heat in the earths atmosphere,but the mechanisim involved is only vaguely similiar to the way in which the way greenhouse gases stay warm.The design of the greenhouse is structured to capture solar energy, which warms the ground then warms the air and then is transfered into the greenhouse atmoshere.

In order to stop additional gases we need to believe that this is really happening! The list of things starts here! What we can do is....
 * What can we do to help stop the additional gases?[[image:polluted_liberty.jpg width="234" height="217" align="right" caption="do we really want to do this to Lady Liberty?"]]**
 * take public transportation,carpool, or walk!
 * have less factories
 * reduce coal plant pollution
 * make cleaner cars

This is an examle of cars polluting our nation. It happens on a daily basis.

This is a picture of global warming and how it works. This is a picture showing the earth taking in heat.

.

This picture is showing how pollution from factorys effects global warming.

If global warming is not reversed, we will threaten our well being an future generations. More extremely unusual weather is going to continue. Droughts an loss of soil through out the United States, the warm climate is causeing the amount of water we have to go down. Global warming can also have an impact on tree factories an timber industry which causes people an businesses to loose money. A few years ago people started complaining about global warming an aweful lot in New York. The beaches were drying up an flooding sub ways 90 degree days an nights all summer. Global warming has been going on for so long that when Clinton was president communities an senators were getting so serious about this that they were starting to really support how global warming is taking an effect. Now Clinton has been gone for a while ....think about how worse global warming has gotten. Now its starting to have an impact on businesses an peoples money. Mainly New York is getting the biggest effect towards global warming, lobsters an animals are dieing an its getting so hot an dry. Not many people pay to much attention to how the climate is changing an many people in New York dont realize how much impact global warming is having on our economy.
