GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is the increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight through to heat the earth's surface but trapping the heat as it radiates back into space. As the greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere the Earth gets hotter.

Global warming is effecting our entire world...ESPECIALLY ANTARCTICA. Ice caps, that usually send cool air to the U.S. are melting and not recrystalizing. The poor polar bears are dieing out aswell, because there climate and habitat are being ruined they have been trying to swm to find there old climate and they've been getting worn out and drowning.

Some things you should say goodbye to becuase of global warming:

Say Goodbye to Light and Dry Wines. Warmer temperatures mean grapes in California and France develop their sugars too quickly, well before their other flavors. As a result, growers are forced to either a) leave the grapes on the vines longer, which dramatically raises the alcoholic content of the fruit or b) pick the grapes too soon and make overly sweet wine that tastes like jam.

Say Goodbye to Baseball The future of the ash tree—from which all baseball bats are made—is in danger of disappearing, thanks to a combination of killer beetles and global warming.

Say Goodbye to Christmas TreesThe Pine Bark Beetle, which feeds on and kills pine trees, used to be held in control by cold winter temperatures. Now the species is thriving and killing off entire forests in British Columbia, unchecked.

Say Goodbye to the Beautiful Alaska VacationWarmer weather allowed Spruce Bark Beetles to live longer, hardier lives in the forests of Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, where they killed off a section of spruce forest the size of Connecticut.

Say Goodbye to Ski VacationsSlopes on the East Coast last year closed months ahead of time due to warmer weather, some losing as much as a third of their season.
