Step 1 The Green house effect: The green house effect consists of the radiation from the sun being absorbed by the Earth. Though some of that radiation bounces off the Earth and goes back in the atmosphere. When this happens gases called green house gases reflect the radiation in the atmosphere to the Earth. This sounds like a lot of heat, but in order to survive we need all this heat. The problem is the green house gases are Carbon dioxide CO2, Methane CH4, and Nitrous oxide NO2 and when we burn fossil fuels it releases CO2 which is a green house gas. Now to much of this CO2 is going in the atmosphere form burning fossil fuels and that __**could**__ cause our Earth to heat up if we have too much green house gases. Hi, I just want to say nice work. -Double H. Step 2 This picture above is an example of climate change.

The picture above represents the green house effect. The difference between the normal green house effect and global warming is that when global warming occurs there is too many green house gases and that causes practicly all of the suns' radiation to aborbed by the Earth, which in return causes the Earth to be really, really hot. Step 3 The Green House gases: Methane, a green house gas, can be caused by burning fossil fuels, livestock, some agriculture, and decomposing waste. Although Methane only occures once or twice out of every million molucules in the atmsphere, methane can trap 20 to 25 more energy molecules per decade than Carbon dioxide can trap in a century.Which also makes me wonder, if reducing 5 Methane molocules could be like reducing 1000 Carbon molocules, based on how much energy one can hold. (a decade,10 years 10 *10=100 which is a century so 10 * the more energy it can hold per decade which is 20 to 25, so 10*20=200 and 5*200=1000) Then mabey we have to pay a lot more attention to methane than CO2, trying to make methane, no-more. Nitrous oxide- Nitrous oxide is mainly caused by crop fertilization and is also emited, in burnig fossil fuels. Other gases- Some of the worst green house gases are chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorcarbos, and perfluorocarbons which can hold about a thousand times more energy than CO2 and these can be produced by coolents, aluminum smelting, and aroesol spays. Carbon doixde- Consists on 53% of the green house gases in the atmosphere and CO2 is caused by mainly burning fossil fuels and cars, though when trees die or if we cut trees down (deforestation), since they contain carbon, that can also effect the amount of Carbon in the air. In my opinion Global Warming is slowly becoming better, but green house gases are still in the air since the industrial revolution, so Global Warming may still rise very slowly for about a hundred more years. We are going to need to watch __//**very**//__ carefully what we put in the atmosphere, so after that hundred years tempetures sereously stop rising. Fortunantly since we now whats causing it (us), we now what we need to stop. Global warming's better, but it's not where it needs to be.

Step 4 Is Global Warming Real Reflection

Yes, global warming is real, very real, almost too real. The Earth's climate has rised atleast 1 degree fahrenheit and about 2 degrees in some Arctic areas. It's an obvious thing too, you just have to pay attention. The polar ice caps are starting to melt, precipitation and drought have increased do to climate changes, animals in the semi-arctics are starting to move even farther north to substain life, and if warming keeps happening stuff a lot worse will start to develop. For example, species that rely on each other for help will become out of sync like; flowers will start blooming before bees become ready and active to pollunate the flowers. Also if warming continues, hurricanes will become larger and more powerful, droughts and floods will become more likely to appear, we will loose more fresh water (ice caps that are relied on for fresh water will melt and flood), malaria may become a more common disease to deal with. There are other ways global warming can be proven too. All kinds of pollen and creatures fall to the bottom of oceans, lakes, ponds, and rivers and when this happens sediments form. Sediments contain a ton of little parts of information like how the air and the water was hundreds of years ago. Also scientist are able to drill little holes into some of the planet's sheets of ice and in those holes contain tiny bubbles trapped in gas that are actually little like little air fossils that contain the atmosphere from Earth hundreds of years ago. Global warming is an issue, but I think some people are taking this issue head on and preparing to stop it. In my opinion I think electric/gas cars are moving towards the right durection, but I'd like to see stuff like solar/electric cars and solar powered house and buisnesses (atleast a lot more of them). Also as odd as it seems I'm a big beleiver in Nuclear Fission and Fusion becomes that process only releases steam and I've spoken with an old NATO worker and he told me that the process is becoming safer than ever before and that we've come up with extroudinary ways to get rid of radio-active waste (or attempt to get rid of it).Can Global warming be solved?........ In my opinion, slowly, but yes.

Step 5 Reducing global warming

Well, if global warming is real, then how do we stop it? There is many ways to prevent global warming in the future, but remember no matter what we do, (unless we magicly discover something that will __//**NATURALLY**//__ get rid of green house gases and that won't end up making it worse in the end) green house gases will still be effecting tempetures for at least another hundred years. One major thing we could do is plant a lot more plants such as very large trees, because as you may know plants take in CO2 and release Oxygen. This is one project that seems so easy but unfortunantly, we've been quite dumb releasing so much green house gases in the last one hundred years, so we need a lot and I mean a lot of plants to fix our issue. Now, since we need space to put all these trees we might need to think about.... ummm...... I don't know what was it called......oh yeah __//**DECREASING POPULATION**//__!Other ways we could reduce green house gases is by using natrual energy such as using water, sunlight, and wind energy. I think for cars, solar energy is the way to go. The sun has so much energy that using it to power cars could just flat out save oil crises. For bigger things such as planes and trains I think Nuclear energy is the way to go. Nuclear energy is litterly more cost effecient than potroelium and coal and it produces so much more energy that it just seems dumb not to use it. My last idea is to put all items in the plastic water bottle material because that is not only recyclable and not terribly expensive, but it doesn't release some toxic "other" green house gas like allumunuim smelting does
