By Kira Black and Patricia Gras
In 2006, Al Gore starred in a documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, that campaigned global warming issues that recognized it as a worldwide problem. This documentary sparked the public’s interest with the horrors of the long term effects that global warming will have on our planet. Global warming has been around for billions of years alternating with ice ages and will continue to occur naturally. However, it has become a main interest because all the human activities and practices that we do have contributed to it’s occurrence and severity.
Global warming is basically the increase of temperatures of the earth’s atmosphere, which disrupts the earth’s natural blanket, the greenhouse effect, from properly trapping heat and keeping the planet insulated. The Industrial Revolution occurred 240 years ago which was when the earth’s atmosphere began to take the beating of the overuse of fossil fuels in the form of oil mined and burned, and gases released into the atmosphere. A new study shows that 75% of the increase in the carbon dioxide gases of the Earth’s atmosphere is the result of the burning of fossil fuels. A popular example of the effects of global warming is the rise of the sea level caused by the melting of ice glaciers. This does not necessarily affect the higher regions but the sea level regions are already losing their land to the sea.
Things that can be done to slow down the progression of global climate change is to promote and switch to alternative energy. What needs to happen is an increase of public awareness of how to become more energy efficient and less dependent on wasteful energy such as oil. There are groundbreaking developments such as wind power (cheaper and more efficient) and solar power (generated by solar cells) have been proven to create zero pollution to our planet. We are living during an exciting time with new discoveries of energy sources that will do less damage to our earth and give future generations a cleaner planet.

All of this is true, although it seems that our main problem now is not so much finding alternative solutions (because we already have), the problem is making the public conscious of possible consequences, that are not as far into the future as we may think, due to our unwillingness to change.
Big changes can begin with little steps, but how do we convince people to take start taking those little steps??
We seem to worry more about changes in the economy; I guess if we continue at this rate, there won’t be an economy to worry about..

Agriproduction is incredibly critical subject for a country and all over world. For economy, farming is incredibly essential. Other than sciencists answer there is overall warming and production will decrease. Manufacturing is rising each year quite global warming. Because of it I don’t judge this warming. I imagine you might like to answer to me, “Is Fikirleri, look the investigate that supports the case for global warming was completed by investigate scientists; people with PH D’s in Meteorology. They are utilized by main universities and essential research institutions. Their work has been reviewed by other scientists with PH D’s. They have to know a lot further regarding it than you make. Let’s, is fikirleri, get with it. The professionals say our pollution has shaped an strong and rising greenhouse effect and a speedy, out of organize global warming is underway this will sky rocket temps, demolish agriculture, soften the ice caps, flood the coastlines in addition to end life as we know it. How can you dispute beginning this crisis? You must be a small piece crazy.

Windmills and wind turbines have never been passé. Wind energy can help generate tonnes of megawatts of electricity. When employed at individual estates, it can help do away with conventional power sources. An excellent renewable source of energy, the wind energy will go a long way in promising a good future to generations to come. This book describes this and other solution you can implement in you home.[Download]
