      Hey! someone wants to give mubarak a chance!what'd gigi think?
  • GIGI IBRAHIM (through translator): I'm not against my homeland. I'm with my homeland. I'm with the nation. I'm with the people. I'm against the worthless regime, dictatorship and the tyrant.
  • GIGI IBRAHIM: The whole movement is being undermined right now by people and by ignorance and by lack of political life in Egypt.
  • NIGO GILMORE: That same day, the pro-Mubarak supporters are trying to get into the square.

  • GIGI IBRAHIM: The swarms of pro-Mubarak supporters are trying to infiltrate Tahrir Square, getting really violent.
  • Frontline followed 24-year-old Gigi Ibrahim, one of the young Egyptians who led the protests that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak, as the movement accelerated and she struggled to explain her involvement in the protests to her family.
  • JUDY WOODRUFF: And now, a portrait of one young Egyptian woman. Her family urged her not to join the activists, but she did and became a symbol of the uprising.
  • GIGI IBRAHIM: I don't know why or how I was brought up this way in this family.
  • GIGI IBRAHIM: I mean, some people, like myself and her, have never seen another president. I mean, I have never seen another president. I have never even seen another regime.

    "GIGI IBRAHIM: The whole movement is being undermined right now by people and by ignorance and by lack of political life in Egypt. I'm worried about it being turned around, because I already see it happening in the streets with average citizens, with people like my family. Protests will never die out. But the momentum and the support for it, that's -- that might die out. I NIGO GILMORE: That same day, the pro-Mubarak supporters are trying to get into the square. PRO-MUBARAK SUPPORTERS (through translator): The people want President Mubarak! GIGI IBRAHIM: The swarms of pro-Mubarak supporters are trying to infiltrate Tahrir Square, getting really violent."

  • Greenhouse effect
  • What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms and snow-capped mountains—hangs in the balance.

  • 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.We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns, that varies from place to place.
  • First, sunlight shines onto the Earth's surface, where it is absorbed and then radiates back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, “greenhouse” gases trap some of this heat, and the rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped.
  • The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
  • Aren't temperature changes natural?The average global temperature and concentrations of carbon dioxide (one of the major greenhouse gases) have fluctuated on a cycle of hundreds of thousands of years as the Earth's position relative to the sun has varied. As a result, ice ages have come and gone.
  • Occasionally, other factors briefly influence global temperatures.  Volcanic eruptions, for example, emit particles that temporarily cool the Earth's surface.  But these have no lasting effect beyond a few years. Other cycles, such as El Niño, also work on fairly short and predictable cycles.Now, humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third since the industrial revolution
  • Why is this a concern?The rapid rise in greenhouse gases is a problem because it is changing the climate faster than some living things may be able to adapt. Also, a new and more unpredictable climate poses unique challenges to all life.
  • As the mercury rises, the climate can change in unexpected ways. In addition to sea levels rising, weather can become more extreme. This means more intense major storms, more rain followed by longer and drier droughts (a challenge for growing crops), changes in the ranges in which plants and animals can live, and loss of water supplies that have historically come from glaciers.

      In recent years, global warming has been the subject of a great deal of political controversy. As scientific knowledge has grown, this debate is moving away from whether humans are causing warming and toward questions of how best to respond.

  • ns are causing warming and toward questions of how best to respond.Signs that the Earth is warming are recorded all over the globe. The easiest way to see increasing temperatures is through the thermometer records kept over the past century and a half. Around the world, the Earth's average temperature has risen more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the last century, and about twice that in parts of the Arctic.

  • Although we can't look at thermometers going back thousands of years, we do have some records that help us figure out what temperatures and concentrations were like in the distant past. For example, trees store information about the climate in the place where they live. Each year, trees grow thicker and form new rings. In warmer and wetter years, the rings are thicker. Old trees and wood can tell us about conditions hundreds or even several thousands of years ago.
  • For a direct look at the atmosphere of the past, scientists drill cores through the Earth's polar ice sheets. Tiny bubbles trapped in the gas are actually pieces of the Earth's past atmosphere, frozen in time. That's how we know that the concentrations of greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution are higher than they've been for hundreds of thousands of years.

  • Egypt paid a huge price, in terms of lives lost, for the revolution. However, a Brigadier with Cairo's police, told Al Jazeera in an exclusive interview that many lives could have been saved if police personnel had undergone correct training for riot control. The government says 365 people died, but scores of people are still missing.
