digital story 3 narrative

Global Warming
global warming is an issue that is affecting the environment all over the world. global warming is cause by humans and nature itself. the main cause of global warming is green house gases.  Greenhouse gases can be emitted into the atmosphere from a variety of natural sources.  volcanic eruptions emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.  the carbon dioxide that the volcanoes produce do not out weigh the amount humans produce. Water vapor is the most prevalent gas  and therefore is the main cause of global warming (not CO2).  Human activity has a much worse effect on the environment. we produce more green house gases that causes more damage to the environment then it does naturally.  driving a car, turning on a heater or air conditioner when its not needed, or even wasting light all these things help global warming grow. if global warming continues sea levels will rise, changes in seasonal weather and precipitation patterns, also habitat changes for a wide variety of plants and animals, etc. everyone can help and take part in the fight against global warming by conserving energy, recycling, buying a hybrid car, etc. if more and more people do this global warming will eventually end.
