School Project - Global warming

In summary, three boys are seeking opinions on global warming for their school project. They are interested in whether it is caused by humans or a natural cycle, and who or what is the main cause. They also want to know about options for lowering temperatures and stopping global warming, and would like to hear thoughts on COP15. They have two weeks to work on the project and are open to different perspectives. One of the boys is unhappy with the leader of their country for not signing COP15.

Hello.

We are 3 boys who writes about global warming for a school project, and we would like to hear your opinion about;
Whethever you think it is caused by the humans or whether it is just a phase in the Earth's cycle.
And who/what do you think, is the cause of global warming.
About what you might have heard of options for how to lower the temperature, or stop the global warming.
We surely like to hear your point of view and comments about global warming, and also like what you thought of COP15.

We go ahead with the project in 2 weeks, so have some time to think about it.

Best regards Frederik, Nichlas og Michael.

I may as well provide the standard description.

Whether you think it is caused by humans or a phase in the Earth's cycle:
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, which gather in the Earth's atmosphere trapping heat. It is caused by humans.

Options to prevent it:
  • Wait for someone to claim the $25 million from Richard Branson
  • Do what everybody says, turn off your lights when you're not using them, etc... Things to prevent the situation from getting worse.

I agreed with the COP15, however, I was unhappy with the leader of my country Stephen Harper, who refused to sign it.

1. What is global warming?

Global warming is the gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.

2. What causes global warming?

The main cause of global warming is human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. Deforestation, industrial processes, and agriculture also contribute to the release of greenhouse gases.

3. How does global warming affect the planet?

Global warming has numerous impacts on the planet, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, changes in weather patterns, and loss of biodiversity. It also has negative effects on human health and can lead to food and water shortages.

4. What can we do to stop global warming?

To stop global warming, we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved by transitioning to renewable energy sources, using energy-efficient technology, promoting sustainable transportation, and implementing policies to reduce carbon emissions.

5. Is it too late to reverse the effects of global warming?

While the Earth has already experienced some effects of global warming, it is not too late to take action and prevent further damage. The sooner we act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of global warming, the better chance we have of minimizing its impacts on the planet and human society.
