The Reasons The Consequences How we can stop this

Is it me, or is it hot in here? In a few years, everyday will be hotter than our hottest day of summer. While researching global warming, I am intending to anwer the following three questions. -What Causes Global Warming? -What are the Consequences of Global Warming? -How and are we able to stop Global warming? I decided to research this topic because I don't know about you, but I don't want winter to be hotter than summer. I'll tell you about what's wrong and how we can make diference.

=The Reasons....=

Global Warming is caused by a hole in the ozone layer. The hole in todays global warming was caused by pollution and poisonous gases in the air. The hole creates what is called the Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Effect is when the sun's heat is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. The heat can't get out, so it makes the planet warmer because of the excess heat.

The Consequences....
The consequences of Global Warming is exactly what it sounds like. The planet is going to get warmer. Not just a little. The last 4 to 5 years are in the record for the hottest years on average. The temperatue hasn't stopped rising yet. It will continue to rise at a rapid pace until the hole in the ozone layer is repaired. The warm temperature will result in more
 * More Hurricanes
 * Drought
 * Longer periods of dry heat or intense rain (based on your whereabouts)

How Can We Stop This....
Not much has been done to help global warming until 2006. On September 27, 2006, Govenor Schwarzenegger signed a bill to cap all greenhouse emissions. It was effective on January 1st 2007. On June 30th, the bill will publish a list of action GHG reduction measures that can be enforced until 2011. The way that we can stop this is using cars less and/ or carpooling. Also using cars that are either hybrids or run on ethanol
