What Can I Do To Help Stop the Effects of Global Warming?

Well when we start to burn fossil fuels, which are gasses, oil, and coal, we produce the heat trapping gas's that causes the rising temperatures in animals environment, in order words global warming. The more fossil fuels we burn the faster the change of global climate. So the most important things is to save energy. First you can start by just changing the way you live. Maybe you can buy a hybrid car, which is a car that runs on electricity and not oil. You can buy fluorescent light bulbs instead of regular light bulbs. These fluorescent bulbs will actually lower your energy bill and will also keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air. Refrigerators consume the most energy in a home, but refrigerators made today consume less than 1/4 the models built 30 years ago, so if you up-grade your refrigerator it could mean big energy savings on your home. These are just some examples in which you can start changing the way you live so many animals will be able to live. It only takes a few changes but their worth it. The biggest change you can made is to raise your voice and tell others about global warming and send a message to your elected officials, letting them know the effects that global warming is causing and the changes they can make to save animals and their environment.

Melting Glaciers Mean No Habitat for Animals

This picture shows that alot of the ice has already melted in this part of the Arctic. You can see the glarier in the backgroung is quickly melting, causing hardships for animal who live there. Most of the animals migrated to other locations that where no yet affected, but if humans don't try to fix the problem of global warming more areas are going to be affected, if that happens where are the animal going to go? Animal should not have to leave the habitat because of the kind of cheimal humans are using, that just not fair. When you look at this picture you have to actually think that some animals use to live here but they had to leave and find somewhere else to live.
