How do you present a project on global warming?

Answer 1

1. Explain what it is (general warming of the planet).
2. Explain what is causing it (burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).)
3. And deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
4. Explain (if you like) the greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases in atmosphere retain infrared heat rising from warmed earth)
5. Explain (if you like) how our breathing out carbon dioxide has nothing to do with global warming (plants remove CO2, we eat plants, we breathe out that same CO2. No extra CO2)
6. Explain what countries have to do to stop it (Change from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel). Plant forests.)
7. Explain what the ordinary person can do to help (reduce fossil fueled energy use, lights, transport, recycling, heating etc)
8. Explain what is happening and what will happen (ice caps melting, sea levels rising, deserts spreading, drought, heat waves and famine in places, heat records breaking every year, insects like mosquitoes and killer pine tree beetles migrating)
9. Ask for any questions. Answer them. Or refer them to WikiAnswers.

Answer 2

There are many good places to start. It depends on what you want to have in your paper and what your views are on the subject. Remember also that some teachers are predisposed to a certain view and will not tolerate anything outside their opinion. You would not want to get a failing grade by pointing out issues that your teacher will not listen to.

If your teacher is neutral or open minded enough to listen to all data and viewpoints, I would start by pointing out that this warming trend, according to almost all science experts started thousands of years ago, long before the start of the industrial revolution. (The Vostok glacial data shows this very well.) If your teacher has a strong view on man being the issue, you may wish to stick with the more politically correct sites.

In any event. Look at as much data from actual science sites as you can. Look at sites by the climate science experts themselves. Dr. Roy Spencer is one of many. Look at both sides of the issue too. Do not be suckered in by either side until you have reviewed the information out there.

Remember that this is about a grade, not collecting all the real information you can. Some teachers are not very open minded, so make sure the report fits their view, not yours. You may be right, but many people have received failing grades even though they were right. Tailor the report for your teacher's beliefs. But keep your mind open to the facts. The report may be only the tip of the iceberg of what you will learn on the subject.

Answer 3

• Global warming is a serious problem.
• It is being caused by deforestation.
• It is also being caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
• It can be combatted by renewable energy, which is non-polluting.
• It can also be solved by planting billions of trees, to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Answer 4

You get a thermometer and check the temperature. Take a record of that temperature and if possible, take it at different locations of the earth. Then after that, you should proceed with a wait of 2 to 5 years and measure the temperature at exactly the same locations as before. If it's hotter, this means the globe is becoming hotter (as a result of an increase in greenhouse gases) and may end up exploding.

Answer 5

By gathering the facts and presenting them in a clear manner.
