Global warming – The earth is surrounded by a thin layer of atmosphere. It is so thin we are able to change its structure. The sun radiation comes in from of light waves, some bounces of back to space in a different form. Some of this radiation is trapped by the atmosphere and this is good it keeps that temperature controlled. As we pollute green house gases the gases join that atmosphere and make a thicker atmosphere which traps in more sun radiation and it heats up the earth.

Cases of Global Warming
 * People have been cutting down trees. Trees use carbon dioxide to grow and we produce carbon dioxide we balance each other out. If we have no more trees then where is this carbon dioxide going.
 * Factors are producing lots of gases like carbon dioxide and this gases have no where to go except up into the atmosphere

‘‘Some of the scientists, I believe, haven’t they been changing their opinion a little bit on global warming? There’s a lot of differing opinions and before we react I think it’s best to have the full accounting, full understanding of what’s taking place.’’ GEORGE W. BUSH, presidential debate, Oct. 11, 2000
