  1. to me global warming is a big thing
    it's causing a lot of problems in many parts of the world, for instance the heat is geting hotter and hotter, the ice are melting, polar bears have less space to live.
    but sometimes we- the people- made the global warming even worse, like driving cars even though you it's only a 10 minutes walk.
    even though i'm not that dedicated to the green things like that i still care about the world, how could i not it's the place where i live.

    that's my opinion.

  2. For me, global warming is a really important issue. Global warming is the increase of the temperature at the earth's atmosphere. Global warming will destroy our earth completely. Earth is the place where we all live, where we can call it Home. We have to stop global warming.Global warming happens because of human activities(fossil fuel burning, deforestation, even our AC and Refrigerator), so every human must be responsible to our earth. We can start saving our earth, just a little can change can heal our earth. Start by using 3R (reuse, reduce, and recycle), stop using plastic bags, go green!. We can try remind everybody to turn off the light, change their light bulb to energy saving light bulb, unplug phone chargers, turn off their TV, computers, walk or use their bike to go somewhere near, etc. Small things can make a huge change for our earth. Start from now, save our earth, stop global warming! :)

  4. And in my opinion..
    Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward. These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.

    Thanks :)

  5. i think global warming is a disaster for our world. It increases temprature,melts the ice,and destroys our world. It becomes more dangerous everyday or maybe everytime. We should care about it and save our earth. We can save the energy (turn off the light when it's not necessary), save the water, paper and try to use bicycle. So, stop global warming and save our earth!
