The Purpose of the Blog:






This blog that I have created will give you the knowledge about the situation of our planet and will talk specifically about the global warming. It is part of my project to create this blog as a task for the English subject. In this blog I will expand this issue by mentioning the definition of global warming and I will describe some of the facts that take place in the global worming. In addition I will include some pictures supported by description. Then I will explain the causes of the global warming. Also I will show you a PowerPoint presentation to my blog which contain some pictures showing the global warming. After that I will mention some of the specific effects of global warming such as the effect on children, diseases, animals, house prices and other necessary points. In another section I will discuss the possibility of preventing the global warming. There are some sections that you will find them interesting while you are continuing your journey in my blog.

Definition

Global warming is the rise in the global average surface temperature resulting from the improvement of the greenhouse effect. This improvement is polluting the air. Gases that been created form factories that controlled by humans especially carbon dioxide. Another definition is the element created by burning fossil fuel and wood. There are some evidences about this phenomena that I will talk about them in the next part of this section.

The big pieces of ice started to melt from the top of mountains and that is happen all over the world such as in Europe, Alaska and Mount Kilimanjaro. The courses of this melting is related to the changes of the percentage of rainfall resulting from the increase of the temperature which we called it the global warming.





you can see thebig difference between the two pictures which have been taken by NASA in
1993-2000.


In 2004 they started to make a study in Russia about the temperature and they found that the average temperature in Siberia around 6000 years ago heated up by 3 to 9 degrees Celsius in the winter and by 2 to 6 degrees Celsius in the summer. One of the important evidence is the increase of carbon dioxide which caused by burning fossil fuel, So the scientists discovered that the increasing of this element will also increase the temperature all over the world.



you can notice the rapid increase of carbon dioxide every year

Causes and Effects:

Global warming is harming our planet, all the living elements that breathe from the air is been hurt from the human who caused this problem to the Animals and plants that we are rely on them in many things. But the problem is the human are ignoring this issue .That result an unexpected changes that may alter the map of the earth. This issue is mention over and over to show you how it is important for us to move and start thinking about solutions that may prevent the global warming. If we start taking actions we will be sure that our children and grand children will live safely on earth without suffering from this problem. One of the ways to prevent global warming is to stop making greenhouses and cancel all the greenhouses .People can use the technology to discover new ways which can replace greenhouses or other traditional methods .It’s our mission in this life to make the life better for the next generation.

What Can We Do?

As we notice in the recent years temperatures started to get extreme in the two opposite season “winter and summer”. While we noticed in this winter we had heavy rain that we didn’t used to have it before 10 years that’s one of the signs of global warming in my country .and now we are expecting that this summer will be hotter than the one before. So what can we do? As we all know that CO2 one of the elements that courses global warming, and there are some home machines that produce it for example air condition, So we need to use it less or replace it with another machine such as air fan. Another thing that we can do is to reduce the uses of cars and if the weather is nice we can use bicycle or walk.
