   !!! Stop Global Warming Now !!!!!
 by: Himanshu


          Global Warming is upon us and it is something that we all need to be aware of. Of course you know about global warming, increase of the average temperature of the Earth due to emission of greenhouse gases. Rise in global temperature causes the ice caps to melt. When the ice caps melt the the ocean level rises, creating the threat of tsumamis and floods.One major thing that causes global warming is greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases captures more and more sunlight in the atmosphere. I am trying to protect environment by walking and biking close distances, conserving electricity by watching less TV, and recycling. What will you do to give a helping hand to stop Globel warming? How?

What will I do to help global warming? One is to ride my bike the majorty of times. I will also help by whatching less tv and onlly charge my DSi when all the batterie is out and it won't turn on. I always encourge my family to be green my useing plastic bags over again and sometimes when I begin to become wasteful they tell my what is the right thing to do. My parents are always fishy about how much paper we use from the printer. As you know the ARE different ways to help global warming stop but these are some basic things that will make a bigg change to the round world we live in.

Since first grade, I always carpooled to my daycare instead of all going in different cars. I always recycle too. One way to help the enviroment is to drive 55 mph instead of 65 mph because it pollutes the earth. Also, you could use reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones that you throw away every time you finish.

To stop Global warming I will reuse paper. Whenever I print a copy of something and the other side is blank I will use that side as a scrath paper.

What I would do to stop global warming is to stop wasting electricity. Whenever I am done using a room(for example the computer room)I will turn off the lights. I would also stop leaving the lights on when me and my family go out.

I will try to help stop gobal warming by turning off lights that we don't need. For example, I am in the bathroom brushing my teeth, but the lights in the hallway is still open. I will turn off the lights.

Ria said...

There are many ways the we can stop Global Warming. One way is to use towels instead of paper napkins. You can save electricity by offing the light when you are not using it. You can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the water while brushing.

I think I will stop global warming by picking up all the trash I see and riding a bike more. When I grow up and if I want to buy a motorbike, I will buy one that runs on cooking oil.

You are right Himanshu; global warming is affecting us. It is destroying the ozone layer, which filters the harmful rays out of the sun's light. The ozone layer is getting destroyed by CFCs(chlorofluorocarbons). To help stop global warming, I will try not to use items that use or contain CFCs and will try not to waste electricity and water. I will also try to minimize the use of plastic bags. Global warming is getting very serious these days and we need to do everything we can to stop it.

What I would do is I can recycle cans that can be recycled. I can also use less gas by not using the car so much. I can use less electricity and water. Overall, these are the things I do to help stop Globel warming

You can stop global warming by turning off the lights and the T.V. when no one is in the room or when no one is watching.You should also un-plug the computer because if you leave the plug in you're still using electricity(and wasting money).

I can stop Global Warming by stopping pollution. I can stop pollution by picking up trash I see at school or even outside. Another way pollution can be stopped is that I will walk to places that are near my house, instead of driving. Second, we can stop Global Warming by planting plants or a tree. This will help because we breathe out carbon dioxide, and so the carbon dioxide makes the temperature warm. Also, since people are cutting down more and more trees, there are not going to be many trees and plants on Earth. Then, if there is no trees and plants we won't get oxygen. The oxygen may cool down the air and oxygen is a major gas that we need to live. These are two ways how we can stop Global Warming.

I can help to stop Global Warming by using energy saving light bulbs. They will not use as much energy as the usual light bulbs. They can use up to 60% less energy than the usual ones.I can also help to stop global warming by using less hot water. You need a lot of energy to heat water up. I can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead and washing my clothes with cold or warm water instead of hot water.

Shoumil said...

To stop global warming I will start using the computer less. I will also start biking to places I can bike to. Another thing I will do is I will ask my parents to change our light bulbs to the green light bulbs. The last thing I will do to be green is recycle.

Angeline said...

I will not litter and try to use more re-usable things. That way there will be less waste/trash

Jasmine said...

What I am doing is recycling paper,I am also take shorter showers, and saving electricity by barely watching t.v and turning off lights I am not using. Global warming is a serious issue that everyone needs to help out with. People really need to reduce, reuse, and recycle. People use to think we are so small compared to the earth that we could never hurt it. That is not true anymore because of all the new technology that is harmful to our earth.

I try to use as little light as possible in my house. My family uses more light than we need. I also help by only watching T.V on weekends(besides, I don't even have time on weekdays.).I know that global warming is really a big problem. I for one,does not want to die of a super huge tsunami or flood(talk about scary?!). I think everyone should clip in and help make the world better.

Neil said...

I am trying to do the same thing. Our family has a compost pile in our yard. It saves garbage and makes great soil. It would take a lot of energy to get it to the the dump so thats one way I am helping. I also recycle cans. Once I tried to make a igloo out of milk jugs. It's hard to believe, but when you drive a car you are melting off a piece of the North Pole.

Danhee said...

To stop Global Warming, I can walk to my Tae-Kwon-Do classes instead of my mom driving me there because it's just a waste of gasoline if I can walk and she drives me there. I can also turn off the lights when we are not using them in the house. Like maybe nobody is in the family room and the lights are on, I can turn them off and save energy.

Global Warming could stop if factories stop throwing bad air out.The thing that mostly causing global warming is smoke.

Well I'm sure you guys aren't gonna read this comment, but I'll write it anyways.

Ahh yes, I always like a nice science blog. GLobal Warming spells DOOM for our world! Rising temperature causes ice bergs to melt, flooding our great continents! The rise in ocean temperature will stir up some hurricanes!
There will be severe droughts with the sun beating down on earth! Plants will die, and then they'll stop "giving us oxygen that stops us from turning blue!!!!"
(All of the were true, except the last one I guessed what might happen)

(In my opinion,) I think we should find a way to harness the power of nuclear fusion!!!! What is nuclear fusion? Nuclear fusion is when you fuse two atoms together (hydrogen is the easiest to fuse) with immense heat. This fusion realeases massive amounts amounts of energy. I know what you're thinking: "How can such a small atom release massive amounts of energy?" Well according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, E=MC2, it all makes sense! This means, Mass can be converted into massive amounts of energy. A rock can release enough energy to wipe out a few cities, but its too stable. Something such as uranium would release energy, or, fusing. Fusing two hydrogen atoms together makes helium. Finding a way for nuclear fusion will supply us energy for like a billion years, and that means we don't have to burn fossil fuels and all that stuff. Nuclear fusion is excatly the way how the sun gets ITS energy. Its a big ball filled with about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. Its so hot in the core of the sun, all the atoms are flying around everywhere, bumping into each other. As it bumps, it fuses, again, realesing massive amounts of energy. This process continues until it runs out of hydrogen. Once the sun is filled with helium and no hydrogen, it will expand into what is called a "red giant". The red giant is so big, it will swallow up earth. After that, it will "deflate" and turn into a dwarf star which is VERY dense and thus, has a very strong gravitational field. Although, if the sun was, I don't know, a 100 times bigger, it would turn into a super-massive black hole!!!

Oh yeah, speaking of black hole, that could also help us! Harnassing the energy of a black hole would supply our energy needs for the whole planet, FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, thats how much energy a black hole has. Although it might not be a supper-massive black hole (although that would be neat) but a homemade earth black hole! Yeah, all we would have to do is feed it. Feed it what? Matter! Everything and anything! That could also help us get rid of unneccicary items such as waste or garbage!

Well global warming is increasing by each minute from people who don't carpool, smoke and lots more. Ice caps and glaciers are melting and the sea level is getting higher. Also, the outer layer of the Earth is getting weak. There is going to be many floods because of sea level. We can also die from the sun without Earth's outer protective layer. We won't get fresh air either. All we are going to breath is smoke from people who smoke. If we don't get oxygen we would DIE!!!! I think we should stop people from smoking and start carpooling with somebody else. You don't always need to carpool. You could bike, scooter, or skateboard to wherever you are going.
