This document discusses global warming and its causes. It states that global warming is caused by both natural phenomena and human activities like burning fossil fuels, which increase greenhouse gas emissions. Burning a single gallon of gasoline releases 19 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The document then provides information on the greenhouse effect and increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as measured at a Hawaiian observatory. It concludes by listing some individual actions that can help mitigate global warming such as reducing waste, using less heating and air conditioning, changing light bulbs, driving less and buying energy efficient products.

ENGLISH PROJECT THE MAIN TOPIC: GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earths surface and in the troposphere, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a variety of causes, both natural and human induced. In common usage, global warming often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.

Global Warming is Human Caused ! Human activity--such as burning fossil fuels--causes more greenhouse gases to build up in the atmosphere. As the atmosphere "thickens" with more greenhouse gases, more heat is held in. Fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas are high in carbon and, when burned, produce major amounts of carbon dioxide or CO2. A single gallon of gasoline, when burned, puts 19 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

What is the greenhouse effect?
English project
The greenhouse effect refers to circumstances where the short wavelengths ofvisible light from the sun pass through a transparent medium and are absorbed, but the longer wavelengths of the infrared re-radiation from the heated objects are unable to pass through that medium. Increase in Greenhouse Gases The increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide, one of the three majoratmospheric contributers to the greenhouse effect has been carefully documented at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. The 1990 rate of increase was about 0.4% per year. The interesting cyclic variations represent the reduction in carbon dioxide by photosynthesis during the growing season in the northern hemisphere. Increase in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
GLOBAL WARMING BEFORE & AFTER
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 2. Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning 3. Change a Light Bulb Wherever practical, replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. 4. Drive Less and Drive Smart Less driving means fewer emissions. When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. 5. Buy Energy-Efficient Products
