Global warming USA

global warming: –noun

increase in the earth's

average atmospheric

temperature that causes

corresponding changes in

climate and that may result

from the greenhouse effect.

Global Warming Facts

An Increase in the average temp of Earth’s near

surface atmosphere and ocean

Earth’s Average temp increased 0.18*c in the past

couple of decades

The Arctic areas such as the North and South pole

are the most affected and the areas near the line

of tropical are the least affected

The Ice Caps in the world are melting, and as they

are melting the sea level is increasing yet some

islands are shrinking and vanishing

With less pollution there is a chance of decreasing

or stopping the global warming happening

Main Cause of Global

Warming

Green House Gases

Fossil Fuel

Deforestation

Burning Carbon Dioxide

Harmful Smoke

Sprays

Ozone Layer

It’s a layer of Earth’s atmosphere that

contain high concentration of Ozone

It absorbs 97-99% of the sun light and

pressure

The earth would completely be burned

without the Ozone layer

The ozone layer can be recovered from the

opening of it by reducing pollution

The ozone layer is 13-40 km above earth’s

surface

USA Temperature

Area and Affect

Alaska: polar warming

Florida: coral reef bleaching

California: animal range shift

Montana: glacier melting

Chesapeake Bay: marsh loss

New York: sea level rise

Quotes

As water temperatures continue to rise, researchers say rainbow trout,

"already at the southern limits” of their temperature ranges in the

Appalachian mountains, could disappear there over the next century.

Say Goodbye to Ski VacationsSlopes on the East Coast last year

closed months ahead of time due to warmer weather, some losing as

much as a third of their season. [Washington Post]

Say Goodbye to That Snorkeling VacationTheelkhorn coral which

used to line the floor of the Caribbean are nearly gone, “victims of

pollution, warmer water and acidification from the greenhouse gas

carbon dioxide seeping into oceans.” [Denver Post]

Say Goodbye to Meadows of WildflowersScientists think global

warming could wipe out a fifth of the wildflower species in the western

United States. They’ll be replaced by dominant grasses. [National

Wildlife Federation]

Environment Affect

The main affect on the environment is the

flow of the fresh water to the world’s ocean.

So basically the worlds freshwater is very

low in amount, other that the fact that the

freshwater is flowing to the ocean. As the

temp increase, the snow and ice in

mountains melt to the ocean. Another

example is that the floods of rain drives the

freshwater is lakes and rivers to the ocean.

Example

USA is facing two main affects on thefreshwater loss from the two famous statesof Mississippi and Montana.

1. Mississippi is facing a lot of floods from rain that is causing the city to almost flood the entire freshwater to the ocean and polluted areas in 1993.

2. Montana is getting all of its freshwater snow in mountains melt to the ocean and polluted areas

Economic Affect

Other than the environmental affects

stated previously, the economy also has

a great impact from the global warming.

First, some forest areas are getting dry

and any sparkle can cause a massive

wildfire within that area with serious

destruction. Second, the freshwater is

running low, so the coast of freshwater

and water bills is getting higher.

Example

USA’s two main concerns economically towards the global warming affects is the destructive wild fires heading to the cities and the loss of freshwater to the ocean

1.L.A. California faced a Wildfire from a thrown cigarette at a bush from the side of the 241 Toll Road and Santiago Canyon, it caused some destruction to the background of the scene

2. Phoenix gets more than half of its freshwater from Colorado river which has been facing a drought for 11 years now, if the river continues with the drought it will eventually dry out.

Social Affect

The last main impact to the USA from

the major global warming is the social

affect between and in the people. Social

affects include hunger and food

shortage in the session of the floods.

Another affect to the social life would be

the destruction of homes in the region of

the wildfires.

Example

USA’s top priority is fixing and solving the problem that people are facing with the floods and wildfire in their homes.

1. Miami faced massive flood waves in 2005 that flooded a lot of homes and resorts close to the sea shore.

2. Florida faced a usual great wildfire in 2010 that started in a forest and made its way to the city by destructing more that 20 buildings

How To Stop Global

WarmingThree simple rules:

REDUSE, REUSE, RECYCLE

Every little thing helps:Turn off the water while not in use/ transport by human energy

or public transportation instead of carpooling/ use recycled papers/ print back to back/ cancel junk mail-email instead of mailing/ use your own shopping bag/ plant a tree instead of building a pool/ use as little water as you can to hygiene/ turn off any electric device not in use/ switch to green environmental energy

REDUSE: reduce any harmful energy conserver, mainly vehicles and electric devices. Use less water when showering or planting or washing. Cancel junk mail and use less emails

REUSE: reuse any material that is capable of being processed again without recycling, reuse any bags for transporting objects, reuse glass food tools that are capable of being reused

RECYCLE: recycle any materials or objects that are able to be crushed and condensed to its original form to be reused, give any paper to a recycling factory, and never throw out any object before making sure that its unrecyclable
