patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of
impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. One cause
for Global Warming is called the Greenhouse
Effect. The Greenhouse Effect results from a four
step process. First, sunl...

burning of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces and
automobile engines. When released into the air in
large quantities, these gases cause the earths
atmosphere to warm by trapping the suns heat.

Global Warming Global warming is the warming near
the earths surface that results when the earths
atmosphere traps the suns heat. The earth is
getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but
they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the
next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be
hotter than it has been in the past million years.
As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities
along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may
cause forests to die and food crops to fail.
