What is Global Warming?
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect.
Is global warming, caused by human activity, even remotely plausible?
Earth's climate is mostly influenced by the first 6 miles or so of the atmosphere which contains most of the matter making up the atmosphere. This is really a very thin layer if you think about it. In the book The End of Nature, author Bill McKibbin tells of walking three miles to from his cabin in the Adirondack's to buy food. Afterwards, he realized that on this short journey he had traveled a distance equal to that of the layer of the atmosphere where almost all the action of our climate is contained. In fact, if you were to view Earth from space, the principle part of the atmosphere would only be about as thick as the skin on an onion! Realizing this makes it more plausible to suppose that human beings can change the climate. A look at the amount of greenhouse gases we are spewing into the atmosphere (see below), makes it even more plausible.

2. Answer the questions
a. What is global warming?
R.: Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth.
b. Do you think global warming is a serious problem?
R.: Yes, I do. There's no doubt about that. Sure this is a real and serious problem.
c. How can we stop global warming?
R.: There are some important things for it. In this way, among other issues, save and don't waste energy, save and don't waste eletricity, save and don't waste water and food. If it's possible to you, drive less. Whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. In the other hand, plant as many trees as you can
d. What influences the Earth's climate?
R.: Earth's climate is mostly influenced by the first 6 miles or so of the atmosphere which contains most of the matter making up the atmosphere.
e. What do you do to help protect nature?
R.: I save and don't waste energy, I save and don't waste eletricity, I save and don't waste water and food. I try to drive less. Whenever I can, I recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans and I also plant some trees.
