Global Warming is a HUGE ecological problem on the Earth. As industries and factories increase, more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. As greenhouse gases increase, the ozone layer that controls the amount of energy put on the Earth gets thinner. This makes the temperature on Earth hotter.
As Global Warming become a bigger problem, the temperature would heat up the world. Humans can be effected with health conditions because of the change in temperature.
One positive action that can be done to reduce this problem is to limit the control of greenhouse gases released from the factories. Maybe, we can consider laws to put for controlling this gas into the atmosphere. If, the greenhouse gases decrease in the atmosphere, the ozone layer may repair itself and this would lower the problem.

Global Warming
Global warming is the ecological problem that I chose that I think is important to discuss about. Us humans have caused global warming by creating massive air pollution with the advances of our technology. Most of our daily things cause pollution to the air.
Global warming will not only warm the earth but also affect humans. Global warming will warm the earth excessively and cause droughts. Also the heat will melt the glaciers causing sea levels to rise and may cause some flood.
Humans can do many things but the most easiest thing to do to prevent global warming is to is to recycle and save energy.

Global warming is when the earth’s average temperature increases. One human action that caused global warming is carbon dioxide emitted from cars. One way that global warming can negatively affect humans is by rising sea levels. When sea levels rise, it floods lands and can destroy coastal properties. One positive action that can be taken to reduce the problem includes driving less. People can also carpool or take public transportation.

The problem that I selected for this assignment is Global Warming. Global Warming is causing a set of changes to the Earth’s climate, or long-term weather patterns. One way Global Warming can negatively affect humans is because the Earth’s weather patterns can change and people who live near oceans or big bodies of water, can be affected because Global Warming can cause flooding. Drought is another example of how Global Warming can negatively affect humans. People can help reduce Global Warming by carpooling instead of using 2 or 3 cars, so there is less gas going into the air, and there is less traffic. Also another way to help reduce Global Warming is by putting the ‘off’ button on things that use up a lot of energy. A few more ways are to switch your light bulbs from 60-watts to CFL, which can save you up to $30 and to plant your own tree!
I choice to write about Global warning. The problem i selected is that the green house gasses in the atmosphere has increased. One human actions that could of caused this problem is people using to much gas for there cars. One Affect is that the wheather climate would start to change. How we could solve the problem is not use sources that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

i pick global warming and one way most humans have caused it is by pollution, the cutting down of forest and rain forest to build factories or houses, also an increase in the burning of fossil fuels, and increase in driving cars and not caring for our environment.
this can effect most of human kind not at the moment but many years from now when our kids or grandkids are around.
one positive action humans can take is the stop of pollution including water, air, etc.
also reduce the amount of cars driven and use carpool and plant more trees then the ones being cut down.

Global warming is a huge ecological problem. The humans who live on this Earth only make global warming bigger than it really needs to be. The humans drive around in their fancy little (or big) automobiles, which send out a huge amount of carbon dioxide. Then the plants are supposed to drink up the carbon dioxide and make oxygen...but the human’s decide to cut down or burn those plants. So Earth doesn’t have enough plants to take in the carbon dioxide, so it led to global warming! One way, since there are a lot more than one, global warming can affect the human race is CLIMATE CHANGE! It Earth is becoming warmer, ice caps are melting, and animals are dying. The human race is not used to these changes and eventually (if global warming doesn’t stop) humans will no long exist. One positive action that humans can take to reduce global warming is to CAR POOL, USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR WALK! By doing this we will let out less carbon dioxide and the plants will be able to take the smaller amount in. But if you still want to drive around in your fancy BWM you can plants some trees or flowers buddy!!

Global Warming:
Global Warming is caused by many things and most of it is done by us. One of the causes is POLLUTION. Pollution is created when Carbon Dioxide is released into the air. Carbon dioxide comes from cars. So we should try to reduce the amount we use the car. If we don't it might lead into a second Ice Age.
OZONE DEPLETION: is depletion of the ozone layer which a layer in the atmosphere that protects the earth from ultra violet radiation.
One human action that may have caused the problem could be CFC's being admitted into the environment, which are chlorofluorocarbons and they can be found inused in refrigerators, home insulation, plastic foam, throwaway food containers,aerosol sprays, air fresheners like febreeze, cleaning products etc. CFC's are bad because CFCs released into the atmosphere collect in the stratosphere. The Stratospheric ozone shields living organisms on Earth from the harmful effects of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation; even a relatively small decrease in the stratospheric ozone concentration can result in an increased skin cancer in people and in genetic damage in many organisms. In the stratosphere the CFC molecules break down by the action of solar ultraviolet radiation and release their constituent chlorine atoms.then the ozone l ayer can thin or get "holes" in it.
This can negatively affect humans because we will have a lot more sun exposure and a greater risk of skin cancer.
humans can reduce this problem by banning CFC's and if than cant be done, people should stops buying and using products with CFCs in them.
Global warming
Some of the negaitive effects that has effected humans are that these changes in climate are particularly dangerous to those who live near the ocean shore and who already suffer from drought, flooding, and poverty.
One postitive action that could be taken to reduce the problem is that we could take a bus or carpool if we need to get somewhere far or you can even walk or ride your bike somewhere if it's close.

The world goes through many environmental issues that are often ignored, and are affective like OZONE DEPLETION. Ozone Depletion is very affective to us, Ozone Depletion lets of CFC acids, these CFC acids can be caused by, To much use of air conditioning, use of plastic foams, and certain propellent's such as deoderant, air freshners, and whip cream.
Ozone Depletion can be very harmful, during Ozone Depletion hydrogen atoms,are replaced with fluorine atoms. Ozone Depletion can also be fluids and gases that are non-flammable and heat stable, and can be used as refrigerants. Also when CFC is released, into our atmosphere it slowly takes away our benefical Ozone Layer.
One Postive action we can do to help make the problem a bit better, is stop sending CFC into our atmosphere. Humans can all use fans instead of air conditioners, we can reduce the amount of Plastic foams, and use more natural Propellents. Also Laws can be established to make sure factories that let off CFC will be limited.

I chose the ecological problem of global warming. A human action that may have caused the problem is car emissions. One way that the problem can negatively effect humans is that the temperature will rise, and ice caps melt forcing some places underwater, because of the rising sea level. To reduce the problem, you can take public transportation or walk/bike somewhere instead of driving.
I chose Global Warming. Global Warming is the earths temperature rising .We can use mass transportation and maybe carpool.
This could lead to change in climate patterns and even to the melting of the ice caps at the north pole and south poles.
This problem can negatively affect humans because the earth can overheat and the polar ice caps could melt even more and there will be many natural disasters. Also polar bears and other animals will be extinct.
One positive action that we can do is limit companies from producing a lot of greenhouse gases.
I apologize to those whose comments didn't get posted. It is my mistake! I did manage to read them though and so you will receive appropriate credit. Keep posting!

The ecological problem that I would choose would be Global Warming.
One human action that may have caused the problem would be people driving cars too much and that pollutes the air.
One way in which the problem can negatively affect humans would be causing the earth to warm too much in temperature and it can cause droughts. Then the glaciers in Antartica will melt then it will become water and sea levels go down and cause floods all around the world.
A positive action could just be to walk or usepublic transportation or carpool or ride bikes and stuff. It helps the environment and it can help you stay healthy in some ways.

I chose global warming as one of my topics, one human action that may have caused global warming si the use of cars because the gasoline fumes go into the air and pollute it causeing this on and off weather. one way that global warming can negitivley effect is it can cause very hot summmers and less cold weather. one positive action that can be made to fix this problem is to reduce the use of CFC's and reduce the use of cars, take walks instead of using cars for pointless driving.

I Chose Global Warming because it is on of the biggest problems our country is facing. Fcatories give off a lot of smoke that can damage our environment. Cars give off smog from their exhaust which can also make our environment polluted.
As more pollution occurs the temperature will begin to rise and animals that live in cool environments will be afftected because they cant adapt to the change in their environment.

Global warming is a large ecological problem. Earths atmosphere temperature increases during global warming.Factories green house gases are released in the air and thats the reason for global warming. It heats up the earth and its not good for humans because it can become too hot and they can get a heat stroke. We can fix it by stopping factories from producing smoke as much and green house gases to help our environment
global warming is terrible in my oppinion many factories are being built and water and the atmoshphere are being polluted greenhouse gases are going into the atmosphere are not leaving this effect is what is melting the polar ice caps and water levels are rising yearly. driving and cows farts create many toxins that pollute cows with methane which is terrible and cars with carbon dioxide ... one positive way to reduce this is by making hybrid cars and fewer cows evan daviotis
Global Warming:
One human activity that caused global warming is air pollution. As greenhouse gases increase, the temperature of the Earth rises too.
This problem can negatively affect humans because the sea level will rise and we will lose more land.
We can take action to reduce this problem by driving less. People should start taking public transportation, such as, buses and trains.
Sorry, this is REALLY late. Hope it still counts! :)
Global Warming is an increase in Earth's average surface
temperature caused by an increase in greenhouse gases. One
human action that may have caused the problem is the air
pollution cause by cars. One way that the problem can
negatively affect humans is that the earth can overheat, and
the ice caps could melt because of the sea rise level. One
positive action that could be taken to reduce the problem is
by using public transportation, carpooling, walking or
riding a bike.

i choose global warming as my topic.
global warming is a negative effect on the ecosystem due to the many tecnological advances we humans create. such things like factories, and cars engage in diminishing the ecosystem and the more that they kept around the more damage they will do to our earth and us. the more that greenhouse gases are produced the more the the earths temperature will increase because the ozone layer is controling that energy that gets to be produced to us, and with it becoming smaller and smaller, due those gases us humans, plants, and animals will begin to burn up because the amount of energy being produced will become too much and many of us will suffer the health risk.
although i believe that if we could sort of limit the amout of that production of gases then everything will probably self heal. like the ozone layer could build itself bacc up and if we could find a way to keep a steady rate of production of these gases then some of our ecological problems could be minimized
