You yourself can watch the amount of electricity and oil you use:
You could ask the old clunker "How is the atmosphere similar to a greenhouse?" (link below) knowing full well that it's not, then laugh as folks explain why it is.
However, search on the WikiAnswers site questions in "Advanced Search" using key words like "green house gas how why what" and you'll have many questions and some good answers.
Questions like,
Gases like the air we breathe float up into the sky all around us. Some of these gases are good at catching the heat rising from the surface of the earth. We call them greenhouse gases and the main one is the carbon gas. They stay around and keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect and it is a good thing. We have had the natural greenhouse effect since before humans started living on earth.
But now a bad thing is happening. Every time a factory uses its machines, or we drive a car or a truck, or even use electricity in our homes, people have to burn coal or oil to make it all happen. And burning coal and oil puts too much of these greenhouse gases into the air.
Another mistake was cutting down too many trees. Trees and bushes can suck in that carbon gas and store it safely inside the wood. So now there are not enough trees to suck in the carbon any more.
So because of these two things, burning oil, and cutting down trees, the natural greenhouse effect that we used to have has turned into the accelerated greenhouse effect getting faster and faster. This is why global warming is happening. It is making the earth too warm.
A: I would start by explaining that energy comes to our world from the sun as visible light and warms the surface of the world. This warmth is goes back into space, but some is stopped by greenhouse gases in the air above us, keeping the world warmer than it otherwise would be. I would then say that if people increase the amount of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, as we do by burning coal and oil, then more heat is trapped on the earth. This can interfere with nature and cause damaging changes to our weather.

It is important for children to become educated of the problems that face our environment, our world, and our communities. One fun way to teach children about global warming is to have a competition where they can dress up as parts of the environment that are affected by global warming.
No. Only bad for your children and grandchildren.
global warming
There are two views on whether global warming is real: the view of the overwhelming majority of climate scientists and the views of non-scientists. Most children are being taught the scientific view of global warming, which is that global warming is really happening. After all, by the time many of them are adults, they will have to cope with some of the problems expected to occur as a result of global warming.
How is global warming happening
Global warming is no good, correct. We have to stop it or our children and grandchildren will blame us for doing nothing.
what hypotheses other than the green house effect try to explain global warming bal bal bla bla
Though there may be some videos available, it is unlikely that they would be on a level that preschool children would understand. 4 and 5 year olds need to be introduced to much simpler concepts before topics like global warming are introduced.

The connection between freak weather and global warming. Freak weather has always happened by chance. However if the number of freak weather events continues to increase, it seems probable that the increase is caused by global warming.
Global Warming.
global warming!!!!!!
True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.
Global warming in itself isn't pollution - global warming is the gradual warming of the earth. However, global warming was caused by carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, but global warming in itself isn't a pollution. yes it is a pollution

Global warming is not important.Global warming isn't happening.Global warming is happening but it's not our fault.Global warming is happening but we can't do anything about it.Scientists are not sure about global warming.
