Global Warming Page
Introduction
I
am a student from the 5/6 Pine Tree AGM class. We are doing web sites
on the environment's problems and I chose global warming as my problem.
If your opinion differs, there is a link at the bottom of the page showing
the other side of the argument.
Problem
Global warming is a
very serious problem. The theory is that the ozone is depleting all
the time due to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Once the
ozone depletes to much, the earth will not have its powerful shield and
the sun's harmful rays will come through causing skin cancer and many other
diseases.
Cause
Global warming is caused
by green house gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases literally
eat away the ozone layer that protects us from the sun. One of the
things that cause greenhouse gases are internal combustion engines.
Solutions
There are many
possible solutions to lessen global warming, though we can't stop it.
For one, we could carpool or even stop riding in cars. We could
walk or ride a bike. Other ways include using less house-hold cleaners,
shut down
coal and gas burning power plants, and replace incandescent
light bulbs with compact flourescent bulbs.
