  • When You Drive or Fly
  • Every time you drive a car, carbon-rich auto exhaust enters the atmosphere.
  • When You Eat Meat and Exotic Foods
  • The food industry, especially the meat industry, is one of the primary sources of greenhouse gases
  • Eating food that is shipped long distances adds to greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Eating beef and drinking milk also adds to greenhouse gases, since cows emit significant amounts of methane
  • One of the best ways to cut your greenhouse gas emissions is by going vegetarian.
  • When You Use Electricity
  • electricity you use is generated from coal-burning power plants.
  • When You Move Into A New Development
  • near the edge of town,
  • move into a new suburban development
  • increasing the profits developers get from cutting down trees and paving over farm land
  • When farms and forests disappear, the land loses the ability to absorb carbon,

    Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die.

    What is global warming? Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts many people, animals, and plants. Many cannot take the change, so they die. What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is when the temperature rises because the sun's heat and light is trapped in the earth's atmosphere. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can't get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can't get out. As a result, the temperature rises. The squiggle lines coming from the sun are visible light and the lines and arrows inside the car are infrared light.

    ¿Que es el Calentamiento Global y que lo Ocasiona? Global warming is literally an increase in the Earth's average temperature. Global warming is brought about by the accumulation of greenhouse gases, or gases that allow sunlight to enter the Earth but prevent heat from escaping it.

What Causes Global Warming? - 0 views

  •  
    Question: What Causes Global Warming? Answer: Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accummulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space.

Egyptian Protesters Bruised, Tired and Hungry - FoxNews.com - 0 views

  • CAIRO — After nearly two weeks of going head-to-head with Egypt's authoritarian regime, anti-government protesters are bruised, battered, sleep-deprived and hungry. But the tens of thousands massing daily in Cairo's Tahrir Square remain fired with enthusiasm — at times a euphoric fervor seems their only fuel — and vow they will not back down in their demands for President Hosni Mubarak to step down and end his nearly 30-year rule.

      Info on how the protestants are willing to make the president step down no matter what.
  • Protest organizers believe they must keep up the pressure of large protests, paralyzing the downtown heart of Cairo, to force the government to make a true move to democracy and not just cosmetic changes that allow the deeply entrenched regime to preserve its grip on power even if Mubarak eventually goes.
    • Mafe Hernandez
       
      They don't want to stop what their doing as long as they make the president step down.
  • "We have to be steady to topple the government," said Ahmed Abdel Moneim, a 22-year-old student who has been sleeping in the square for days. "The French Revolution took a very long time so the people could eventually get their rights. ... If we have to spend our life to get rid of Mubarak, we will."

    Written by Cody McKibben on 3 April 2007. Posted in Social Change For years under the Bush administration, the Environmental Protection Agency has argued that it has no authority to regulate carbon emissions. Imagine that, the one government office in charge of-what other than protecting the environment-hasn't been doing its job?

    It is positively freaking cold in Florida this week. That is difficult for yankees like me who moved from the Great White North to escape the frozen tundra. I mean, I don't even own an ice scraper. What the hell am I supposed to do when I find frost on my windshield.

    Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are drying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years.
