Global warming is when the earth’s temperature raises. That happens with gases like carbon dioxide and other type of gases holds on to the heat and the light of the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, where which helps to increase the temperature. A lot of the living species cannot handle global warming, some of them die from the temperature. (http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215471/global_warming.htm#). To understand global warming, it helps to understand the greenhouse effect. It is a glass house where they grow plants in it. The green glass lets light and heat come in and it keeps the heat inside, so it can keep the plants warm even when it’s cold.

Global warming is affecting the world in many ways. It makes the sea rise and covers up some islands, and when the sea covers the plants in the island die, it will set off a lot of changes in weather conditions, and by that it will set off the extinction of a lot of plant species. The affects of global warming has already begun on animals, as you can see there are a lot of animals that are extinct. The reason some of the animals were extinct that is relative to global warming is the result of habitat loss, like for example polar bears, they live in arctic areas but now cause of global warming the ice is starting to melt so as you can see they are losing their habitat. Without plant and animals, it will be impossible for humans to survive on this planet. Humans are dependent on these plant and animal species for about everything, even in oxygen and food.( http://www.buzzle.com/articles/impacts-of-global-warming.html). Global warming is harming the living species in many ways. It destroys many huge forests, and it is also involved in acid rain. Global warming is caused by many things like, turning on a light, washing and drying clothes, using a hair dryer, riding a car, using an air conditioner and many more. (http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215471/global_warming.htm#).
People are trying a lot of ways to stop global warming. One of the ways is that people are doing is reducing the usage of electricity, also by reducing the cars in the world because of its pollution, cars pollute a lot. Many things that cars needs makes more pollution than it, like fuel, it pollutes the air when it’s burnt. Planting trees and recycling helps also, planting trees reduces the carbon in the atmosphere, and if you recycle less trash will get burned, so by that less greenhouse gasses will be in our atmosphere. The government is trying its best to stop global warming. By that it made a law called “The Clean Air Act” so there can be less air pollution. Global warming affecting people and making them very sick or it kills them; The Clean Air Act is trying to help by making many companies change some of their products to reduce these problems. Making and using these products let out too much pollution in the air. ( http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215471/global_warming.htm). Using less hot water helps and saves energy, like washing clothes with warm or cold water to reduce the usage of hot water, and the energy that is needed to produce it. By doing that it saves a lot of carbon dioxide release. In many areas, people can change to energy generated by clean and renewable sources such as wind and solar power. Also forests play serious role in global warming, it stores carbon. When forests gets burnt or cut down the stored carbon that was there gets released into the atmosphere.

In my opinion, I think everyone should contribute in helping the world against global warming. The causes and solutions that is shown is an advantage for people to know some of the things that they do harms the world, so people should be more careful and start helping the world.
