Task 2
Global Warming
Climate is the pattern of weather over the long term. The climate has always changed, getting warmer and cooler over years. Though climate change isn't new, the speed with which the climate is changing is. Global warming is a term used to describe the increase in average global temperatures due to the greenhouse effect. But what is that?
Scientists generally agree that the Earth's surface has warmed by about one degree Fahrenheit in the past 140 years. That might not sound like much, but it has definitely impacted the earth. Scientists also think the rate at which the earth is heating up is increasing. The greenhouse effect is what scientists believe is causing the sharp increase in global temperatures. The earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane (from pollution) in the atmosphere, which allows incoming sunlight to pass through it but won't allow the heat to escape back out (like in a greenhouse).
Climate change can negatively affect the earth's delicate ecosystems. Global warming has been linked to dying coral reefs, dangerous new weather patterns and the extinction of plant and animal species. Reducing pollution helps to reduce global warming. Here are a few ideas: Walk to school instead of getting the 'rents to drive you, don't use too much electricity. Use energy compact fluorescent light bulbs, turn off the lights when you leave a room, and don't leave the TV on when you're not using it, tell your parents what you know about global warming. It's important that they know as much as you do so they can vote for politicians who care about the environment, recycle, Plant trees. Trees help to combat pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air.

This time, we are going to group them so they are easier to work with. Using the group approach, think first of all the causes of global warming, and then think of the effects. To do this, ask yourself why? as you list the causes. Then ask yourself what is the result of this? as you list the effects.
