The carbon footprint is the way of calculate the effect of human in environment. Everyone effect on the carbon dioxide and climate change. In the site I scored 4.42 in carbon footprint. Now I will talk about some problems and solution in this subject.

There are many problems. One of these problems that related to climate change is the cars. It makes a lot of pollution. Most cars are not in good condition and it increases the level of CO2. Another problem is the use of electricity. People spend a minimum about five hours a day with the electric devices like mobile phone, mp3s, computers, and TVs. It means that the factory of electricity will produce more oil to get electricity power.
Turning to solution, one of best solution for first problem is organize the time of vehicle movements and use more local transition like buses and trains. The second solution is to reduce the using of devices and used it in important causes. Last solution is to change our life style like food system. Its better and healthier to be vegetarian.

To conclude, everyone has to know his impact on the environment and be a part for reduce the CO2. The weather got warmer because the increased CO2, so we must take care about our future life.

Inconvenient Truth

In Inconvenient Truth movie Mr. Albert Gore (former vice president) talk about a number of data of global warming and what will happen to the world. The show illustrates the average of the temperature in about century ago. The temperature is going up and up. This raising of temperature and heating makes a lot of effects on whole word. This also related to the Ozone layer. The show got a real picture with graphs and videos are changing in our life.
He mention about many things. One of the most important things is the reducing the level of CO2 and his effects on plants to produce the Oxygen. Another issue is to replace the source of energy instate of chemical way by using the natural source of energy like sun water flows or winds. The other issue is to get aware from old cars that produced a lot of CO2.

global warming



There's no question that the Earth is getting hotter—and fast. The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we willing to slow the meltdown by curbing our insatiable appetite for fossil fuels?
Get a taste of what awaits you in print from this compelling excerpt.Global warming can seem too remote to worry about, or too uncertain—something projected by the same computer techniques that often can't get next week's weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn't be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about climate change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and cramp our lifestyles. Comforting thoughts, perhaps. But turn to "GeoSigns," the first chapter in our report on the changing planet. The Earth has some unsettling news.From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the temperature is up 1°F (.5°C) over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren't pretty. Ice is melting, rivers are running dry, and coasts are eroding, threatening communities. Flora and fauna are feeling the heat too, as you'll read in "EcoSigns." These aren't projections; they are facts on the ground. The changes are happening largely out of sight. But they shouldn't be out of mind, because they are omens of what's in store for the rest of the planet. Wait a minute, some doubters say. Climate is notoriously fickle. A thousand years ago Europe was balmy and wine grapes grew in England; by 400 years ago the climate had turned chilly and the Thames froze repeatedly. Maybe the current warming is another natural vagary, just a passing thing? Don't bet on it, say climate experts. Sure, the natural rhythms of climate might explain a few of the warming signs you'll read about in the following pages. But something else is driving the planet-wide fever. For centuries we've been clearing forests and burning coal, oil, and gas, pouring carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere faster than plants and oceans can soak them up (see "The Case of the Missing Carbon," February 2004). The atmosphere's level of carbon dioxide now is higher than it has been for hundreds of thousands of years. "We're now geological agents, capable of affecting the processes that determine climate," says George Philander, a climate expert at Princeton University. In effect, we're piling extra blankets on our planet. Human activity almost certainly drove most of the past century's warming, a landmark report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared in 2001. Global temperatures are shooting up faster than at any other time in the past thousand years. And climate models show that natural forces, such as volcanic eruptions and the slow flickers of the sun, can't explain all that warming. As carbon dioxide continues to rise, so will the mercury—another 3°F to 10°F (1.6°C to 5.5°C) by the end of the century, the IPCC projects. But the warming may not be gradual. The records of ancient climate described in "TimeSigns" suggest that the planet has a sticky thermostat. Some experts fear today's temperature rise could accelerate into a devastating climate lurch. Continuing to fiddle with the global thermostat, says Philander, "is just not a wise thing to do."
