Students’ Questions about Environment Page 3

Global warming is bad because it is causing the Earth’s atmosphere to warm, which is causing the Earth’s climate to change.

1. Global warming is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time.

2. It is important because it has the potential to cause great harm to our planet and its inhabitants.

No one knows for sure when global warming will end the world. However, it is clear that the world is slowly but surely being destroyed by it.

1. Use less energy.
2. Use renewable energy.

Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system. It is a major aspect of current climate change, and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming.

Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature. The main component of global warming is the increased emission of greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse effect and human activity are the two main causes of global warming.

Climate change affects us by causing more extreme weather events, like hurricanes, floods, and droughts. It also affects our health by making it easier for diseases to spread.

There are two major types of physical evidence for climate change: direct and indirect. Direct evidence includes things like temperature records and the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Indirect evidence includes things like the impact of climate change on plant and animal populations.

There are many ways to help climate change. Some things individuals can do are: drive less, waste less food, compost, recycle, and use less water.
