There are many steps you can take at home to help mitigate the release of carbon dioxide, which is a primary driver of global warming.
Start with your driving habits - how often do you need to drive to the store? Can you make one trip a week and get all your shopping done, or can you do your shopping on the way home or to work? This significantly reduces the amount of gasoline you burn and transportation is responsible for 18% of global carbon dioxide emissions. As a bonus, driving less also saves you money since you aren't using as much gasoline.
Look around your house - are there appliances you can unplug like the toaster or the VCR that you no longer use? Can you turn down the heat by a degree or two in the winter or turn the A/C down a bit (run a little warmer) in the summer? Do you have power strips for your major appliances like the TV/entertainment center or the computer so you can turn these off when you aren't at home and not using them? The more you can reduce your electricity useage at home, the less fossil fuels are burned at the power plant which also reduces carbon dioxide emission there. Again, there is an immediate cost saving to this in that your electric bill will also drop.
When you are looking at your house, do you notice a draft or a cold or hot spot in a particular room or area? This can be a sign of poor insulation, which means the heat in winter and cold in summer may be leaking out, raising your energy useage and increasing your carbon footprint (how much carbon dioxide your actions and decisions generate in a year). You may be able to call your power company and have them do a free house inspection to look for drafts, leaks and other sources of lost heating/cooling - fixing these can save you hundreds of dollars a year in utility bills as well as reduce carbon dioxide emissions at the power plant. Also, take a look at your appliances - are they high efficiency? If they are more than about 10 years old, you can likely save a great deal of money by replacing them with high-efficiency new appliances, which also reduces energy consumption.
Children and teenagers can help out a lot too, with simple actions like always turning off the lights, TV, radio and computer when they are done using them. Other really helpful actions include not staring into the refrigerator with the door open, sorting laundry and only washing clothes that are actually dirty, and walking, biking or carpooling with friends rather than driving separately.
Global warming has occurred across the globe, impacting various regions differently. However, some regions that have experienced significant effects of global warming include the Arctic, where temperatures are rising at twice the global average, and low-lying island nations like the Maldives and Tuvalu, which are threatened by sea-level rise. Additionally, areas with glaciers have witnessed rapid melting due to global warming.
Landslides happen because of increased rain softening the earth on the side of a mountain. They also occur where people have removed trees which anchored the earth. Removing trees has an effect on global warming, and one of the results of global warming is increased rainfall in some areas. So there is some connection.
A good topic sentence for global warming depends on what the article or paper is about. Determine what you plan to discuss in your paper and a topic sentence will come easily.
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.
Apparently there was some warming for decades, but there has now been none for nearly twenty years.
You can find videos on youtube.com. Type global warming into the search.
There are thousands of slogans that are available for stopping global warming. Some of these slogans include "Global Warming: We have a solution, stop pollution" and "Penguins are on Thin Ice: Stop Global Warming".
Save earth, Save life...Stop global warming.
Because it is GLOBAL, not local warming.
Global Warming
You are obviously suffering from inclement weather. Part of the global warming prediction is that our climate may get more extremes. Perhaps you are receiving some of that global warming he believes in!
Some examples of global issues are global warming, human population, health issues...
Yes street colours do effect global warming. A freshly painted street colour consists of some chemical compounds which go of in the atmosphere effecting global warming.
yes
global warming...........
Global means world-wide. Some local weather is cold, but globally, the world over, we are 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.
