Purpose

.

1.To know the reasons why global warming happens.

2.To recognized the implements applied at present.

3.To understand the advantages and disadvantages after applying implements described above

Information Coordination

The reasons why greenhouse effect happens:

Many scientists and leaders contend that this happens when gases in the atmosphere– especially carbon dioxide,released by burning oil and other fuels – trap the sun's heat.

Information Coordination

The reasons why greenhouse effect happens:

1. Burning Power Plants2. Cars 5. Buildings3. Trucks 6. Methane4. Airplanes 7. Deforestation 8. Carbon in Atmosphere and

Ocean

1.Being a junior high school student, what can we do?

2.Is the world really warming up? Is the warming really caused by the human activities? Should we worry about it?

Discussion

Discussion--1

1.Take public transit whenever possible.2.Do not turn the air conditioners on when

the degree is under 25. 3.Use things which can recycle again and

again.4.Plant more trees.

Being a junior high school student, what can we do?

Discussion--2

A: About these questions, there are two

different thoughts, one of them is yes, but

the other one is no. But according to the

scientists, our Earth is really warming.

Q: Is the world really warming up? Is the warming really caused by the human activities? And Should we worry about it?

• Yes. It has become clear that the world is warming up slowly. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the earth has warmed by about one degree Fahrenheit over the past100 years.

• What is less clear is that what is causing global warming– and what we can or should do about it. Some believe the warming is simply part of the world’s natural climate cycle. If the warming is natural, then there may be little humans can do to stop it. We may just have to learn with warmer temperatures.

Discussion--2

• No, our Earth is not warming up by human activities. As you can see, the Earth is still very lively, and the weather had changed since millions years ago. The ice age had came and gone for many times. There is no need to worry about our Earth.

• If the Earth is really warming up, it is just because the Heat Island Effect, not the Carbon.

Discussion--2

Conclusion American writer Mark Twain once said,

‘‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.’’ Now, people really are trying to do something about it.

Though we are just junior high students, we still can influence the people around us. From now on, we should do more to save our earth. It’s not difficult for us to do it.

Just do it!
