                                                     Global warming                             Hi my name is Avo...
Today I'm going to talk about a serious problem global warming . First I'm going to explain the dangers of it then give you solutions for it.
Global warming is primarily a problem of too much greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. for example as we are burning fossil fuels like coal or natural gas or if we are cutting down trees and burning forests we increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the earths atmosphere.
                                        Greenhouse gases
Greenhouse gases are gases in the earths atmosphere. The primary gases are carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide.
1. Methane (CH4): it's the main component of natural gas but it's also produced when organic maters decompose in absence of oxygen which happens flooded gardens or landfills. Methane has increased by 148% since the industrial age
2. Nitrous oxide (N2O): nitrous is produced when bacteria breakdown nitrogen compounds and soils in the oceans. N2O has increased by 18% since the industrial age
3. Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide is being produced when burning fossil fuels or as we generate electricity and when we drive. Carbon dioxide has increased by 39% since the industrial age.
                                        The suns radiation
  The suns radiation comes in forms of light waves heating up the earth. Some of the radiation that is absorbed and warms the earth is re radiated back in to space in the form of red waves, but some of the waves are trapped by the atmosphere and held inside it. So the problem is that the atmosphere is continuing to consist more and of greenhouse gases due to human kind. And therefore making the radiation from the sun become trapped on earth in which heats up the planet.
                                               Solutions
1. Eat your leftovers because when its going to landfills methane is coming out of them every second.
2. In winter you can wear sweaters in your home and turn down the heat a little bit because most homes are getting electricity from burning fossil fuels which increases the amount of carbon dioxide.
3. Instead of driving a car you can walk more or ride bikes more often which also keeps you healthy and fit.
4. Farmers should do more smart farming.
5. Traveling burns a lot of fossil fuel. So you can stay in your country and have vacations there.
6. Plant more trees and gardens.

I hope this topic was interesting for you and I hope learned something new today :D.
