"What are Greenhouse Gases?" __About__. 2009. 30 Apr. 2009 . 1.known as the Greenhouse Effect 2.Predicted increase in average temperature on earth 3.due to the trapping of heat in the atmosphere by greenhouse gasses. 4.increased CO2 levels from burning, methane from decomposition, CFCs from refridgerators(also destroys Ozone layer), aerosols(Sulfates and black carbon from burning coal and oil and insustrial processes), and nitrogen oxides from burning.-Voiland-Barbalace 5.Raise in the average temperature of the Earth which causes heat wave stress-Mirabile 6.coastal flooding(Oceans Expanding beacause of melting polar ice caps)-Mirabile 7.change in rainfall distribution-Mirabile 8. severe storms (causes erosion which is the washing or blowing away of soil)-Mirabile 9.change in ocean currents-Mirabile 10.less food production 11. and ecosystems are harmed.-Mirabile 12.Burn less fossil fuels 13.end deforestation-Mirabile 14.using or suporting the use of solar power because it is perpetual (meaning it lets off no pollution) 15.and recycling more(because landfills release methane) 16.People argue that global warming is part of the Earth's natural process and will happen due to natural causes 17.Causes such as volcanoes, fires, and methane emmissions let off by animals (like cows). 18.Humanity does cause an increase in fires and methane emmissions. 19.Humans cause a majority of fires, while lightning only causes 2% of forest fires, the other 98% is caused by human activities such as equipment use, smokers, railroads, and campfires. []. 20.Humanity has also caused an increase in methane emmissions by increasing the cow population for food. 21. Cows are believed to cause 1/3 of the Earths methane emmissions.-Kennedy 22.We are causing global warming to occur far faster than nature intended, the ecosystems do not have the time to adapt and evolve. 23.Ecosystems survive by adapting, moving, or die. 24.Global Warming is happening everywhere, so the organisms have nowhere to go and not enough time to evolve. 25.Species go extinct which effects ALL diversities. 26.Bacteria, Fungi, Protists, Plants, and Animals 27We need diversities because they decomspose waste (creating space for us to live) and provide food and oxygen. 28. We nee d everything diversities provide us with in order to survive. 29.People are also in denial, pretending global warming isnt happening. 30.Signs of global warming are all around us, all over the world. 31."natural" disasters like Katrina (flooding), 32.thermal water pollution 33.smog (a mixture of water particles in the air containing pollution and ground level ozone) 34.and erosion. 35.All these factors harm the ecosystems which provide us with what we need to survive. 36.People, including our government, have chosen to take no action and deal with its consequences in the future.

37. scientists determined that 154,000 people die every year (Australia-NEED sun protection for skin and valuables such as pictures) from the effects of global warming, and will double by 2020 38.Mass Extinction 39.Unusual weather events will cause dead zones in oceans 40.Flooding- 41.Intense Weather Conditions- Warm and moist ocean air fuels Hurricanes- Anual rates of hurricans have increased from 10 to 18 from 1990 to 2004. Hurricanes: Katrina, Floyd, Andrew 42.Droughts 43.Power Outages due to high use of heating and air conditioning during heat waves 44. Heat waves cause deaths- dozen in Missouri, 35,000 in Europe, 45.Forests will weaken and turn to grassland, killing forest species. 46.Arctic region's surface temperature had increased by 2.7 Degrees F 47.40% decrease in arctic sea ice from 1993-1997 48.Rise in Sea level of 4 feet by 2100 and 15 feet by 2200-The average elevation of New Orleans is about 2 meters below sea level, and parts of Texas City, San Jose, and Long Beach, California are about one meter below sea level.- more than half the us lives on the coast 49. Disease spreading- tropical weather is spreading with tropical diseases

"IPCC Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis." __US EPA__. Environmental Protection Agency. 30 Apr. 2009 .

50.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates it has warmed 1.2 to 1.4°F (0.7 to 0.8ºC) over the past century and projects a further 3 to 7°F (2 to 4ºC) over the 21st century. The increases may appear minor compared to short-term weather changes from night to day and winter to summer. In global climate terms, however, warming at this rate would be much larger and faster than any of the climate changes over at least the past 10,000 years.(CB)

51.The Earth’s greenhouse effect is a natural occurrence that helps regulate the temperature of our planet.(CB)

52. Heat known as infared radiation is trapped by the greenhouse gasses and clouds. (CB) 53. Water vapor and Carbon Dioxide are greenhouse gasses. (CB) 54. Without greenhouse gasses the world would be 60 degrees (F) colder (CB) 55. The globe is heating due to an increase in these gasses larger than in hundreds of thousands of years. (CB) 56. If humans continue to release greenhouse gas emmisions as they currently are then by 2100, scientists predict an increase of anywhere between 3 and 7 degrees F (CB) 57. Polar ice sheets (such as those on Greenland and Antarctica) are some of the largest surface features on our planet. (CB) 58. Melting of polar ice and land-based glaciers is expected to contribute to sea level rise. (CB) 59.The IPCC projects a six inch to two foot rise in sea level during the 21st century. (CB) 60. There is virtual certainty of declining air quality in cities since greater heat can also worsen air pollution such as ozone, or smog. (CB) 61.Insect-bourne illnesses are also likely to increase as many insect ranges expand. (CB) 62. In a warming climate, extreme events like floods and droughts are likely to become more frequent. (CB) 63. Coastline homes in places like florida and california may be at risk due to a rising sea level and more frequent storms. (CB) 64. Rising seas may contribute to enhanced coastal erosion, coastal flooding, loss of coastal wetlands, and increased risk of property loss from storm surges. (CB) 65.
