Global Warming

The cause of global warming is simple, we are producing more carbon dioxide then the earth can release, the affect of this happening is now the earth is warming up. If the earth gets too warm, the polar ice caps will melt and sea levels will rise. Also, as the earth starts to rise in temperature, disease will spread, and animals will die. There is a chance that we can stop this all from happening, and all we have to do is cut down on our electricity use, learn to car pool, and find better ways to create energy.

The main ice covered landmass is Antarctica at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice and 70 percent of its fresh water. Antarctica is covered with ice an average 7,000 feet thick. If all of Antarctic’s ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 200 feet. The effect of the oceans raising an average of 200 feet world wide would be devastating to man kind. All of the cities around the world such as New York, Boston, and San Francisco all would be under water and millions of people would be without homes and jobs. Also, if global warming gets worse people will not be the only thing that gets affected by global warming.

In some cases it is too late for some species such as 70 species of frogs, mostly mountain-dwellers that had nowhere to go to escape the creeping heat. They have gone extinct because of climate change. Also between 100 and 200 other cold-dependent animal species, such as penguins and polar bears are in deep trouble. Also climate change affects the occurrence and spread of disease by impacting the population size and range of hosts and pathogens, the length of the transmission season, and the timing and intensity of outbreaks. If this would happen and diseases would spread, millions more people would die, from diseases such as malaria.
Even if global warming is bad and is already affecting our world there is still a chance that we can stop global warming. For example we can use alternative energies such as wind and water power. Also we can find better ways to fuel our cars, or have our cars get better gas mileage. I think that if we all work together we can stop global warming in its tracks. Also I think that we did to stop thinking that ethanol will stop our ever increasing need for oil. One fact shows that it takes two barrels of oil just to produce one barrel of ethanol.
Overall, I feel that the cause for global warming is our fault and that effect will be terrible for all of man kind. I also feel that if we all work together that we can stop global warming and we will not have to suffer the consequences. I think that if we do not do something soon we will loose many more species of animals and also many more people will be homeless and diseases will spread.

The cause for global warming is that there is alot of Carbon dioxide in the air, the affect if this is now the world is warming.

The cause for the gas prices rising in America is because we buy oil from countries that are at war. The effect of high gas prices is that all other products that we enjoy are going up in price. For example Milk has gone up a lot in the last year because of rising gas prices, it cost the farmers a lot more money to transport there milk.

If prices keep risen then the wars in the Middle East will keep going on. The effect of this is they will start to build larger more powerful weapons such as a nuclear bomb. Also if we keep buying oil from them they will just get richer and more powerful, and that is not a good thing at all.

There is a positive side to risen gas prices, if gas keeps risen people will stop buying it for there cars, and then there will be less carbon dioxide in the environment. Witch will then stop global warming. Also after gas gets so high and people stop buying it people in the Middle East will lose money and they will not be able to support there wars.Overall, I think that as long as gas prices keep risen other products will go up to, and people in the Middle East will keep getting richer.
