Close your eyes and imagine the Earth getting warmer and warmer in the next few years. Can you picture in your mind how the change of temperature will affect us? Do you think you can help us slow down global warming? Global warming is caused by the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels give off Greenhouse gasses when they burn. The build up of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere makes the atmosphere warmer. We use fossil fuels to make electricity. If we want to slow down global warming, we have to use less electricity. Global warming is getting worse. The proof is that eco-systems are changing. For example: more plant and animal species are becoming endangered. Ice is melting at the poles. We are having a severe weather caused by an enhanced water cycle (warmer air allows more moisture in the atmosphere, which in turn causes more precipitation). I do know the feeling of caring about your own self. But if the Earth is destroyed, you can't take care of yourself. And I'm sure you might think that by the time you die, you won't face the horrible heated up Earth. However, did you think about your sons and daughters? It is not too late to solve this problem. So come and join us and slow down global warming. I'm sure you would like to save our beautiful planet. So here are a few solutions:1. Use less AC.
2. Use computers only when necessary.
3. Watch less TV.
4. Turn off lights while not needed. The time is now to help ourselves in slowing down global warming.
