Global Warming

There are many factors contributing to global warming. One factor is called the Greenhouse Effect. The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. i think that there are ways that we can help with this problem. For instance, we can manage the things that we do that release these greenhouse gases. A way we can do this is to conserve energy. We can turn off things that use electricity when we are not using them. If everyone pitches in, we can maybe change the course of where this is leading to.
