Global warming is defined as the increase in average surface temperatures worldwide due to increased greenhouse gas emissions since the mid-20th century. Some of the warmest years on record have been 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003, and 2004. Polar bears, sea turtles, North Atlantic right whales, giant pandas, orangutans, and elephants are some species that are endangered by global warming. Simple actions like replacing light bulbs with CFLs, driving less, keeping tires properly inflated, installing low-flow showerheads, turning electronics off when not in use, and planting trees can all help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming. Global warming is a real phenomenon and is not a hoax.

2. What is Global Warming??
Global Warming is the increase of temperatures of
the Earth’s surface and oceans world wide since the
mid-twentieth century by Greenhouse gas emissions.

21. Things to do to stop Global Warming
Part 1
1) Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will
save 150 pounds of CO2 per year.
2) Walk, bike, carpool or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one
pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive !
3) Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by
more then 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of
Carbon Dioxide out of the atmosphere!
3) It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a
low-flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing
your cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).
4) You can save 1,200 of CO2 if you cut down your garbage by 10%

22. Things to do to stop Global Warming
part 2
5) Moving your thermostat down 2 degrees in the winter and up 2
degrees in the summer could save about 2,000 pounds of CO2 per
year.
6)A single tree will absorb one ton CO2 of over its lifetime
7)By simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and
computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of
pounds of CO2 per year.

23. Is Global Warming a Hoax??
No, Global Warming is not a Hoax . It started in middle of the twentieth century.
