GLOBAL WARMING!

1.- What is global warming?
Global warming is the current rise in average temperature of Earth's oceans and atmosphere. Scientist affirm that this is caused by human activity and green house gasese, such as desforestation. The most ovbious results are visible in the Artic.

2.-What is the proces involved in the greenhouse effect?
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 green house. 
First, sunlight shines onto Earth's surface, where it is absorved 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. Most of greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped. 





3.- What signs warn us about global warming?
Some of ovbious signs are in the Artic (where rising temperature s and melting ice are dramatically changing the regions unique landscapes and wildlife) as well as people's lives and livelihoods. Across the globe, other early warming signs include meeting glaciers, shifting ranges of plants and animals, and the earlier onset of spring. It's changing the rhytmics of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. 

4.- Can you quote another terms for global warming?
Fear Mongering, climate change, across the globe, melting glaciers, earlier onset of spring and desforestation. 

5.- Watch the video and explain this idea: Global Warming: panic or reality?
It's reallity because there are some many science that demostrate us thats true and we can see it. And it's panic because we are destructing the planet and we can delete it. 

THE BIG QUESTION
WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING? SUGGEST FIVE IDEAS
1.-Reduce, reuse and recycle.
2.-use less heat and air conditioning.
3.-Change a light bulb
4.-Drive less and drive smart
5.-Buy energy-efficient products
6.- use less hot water
7.-use the "Off" switch
8.- Plant trees
9.- Encourage others to conserve.
