Sure no problem. Google "global warming". When I did I got a list of 1,490,000 web sites on the subject.

1. Without the green house affect there would be no life on earth.
2. There is much less ice in antarctica than there was 20 years ago which means the earth is slowly warming up
3.Global warming is the rise in temperature of the earth's atmosphere.
4. It is said that by the time a baby born today is 80 years old the earth will be 6 and a half degrees warmer.
5. Some global warming is bad but if extra greenhouse gases are produced the thermal blanket around the earth gets thicker and too much heat is kept in the earth's atmosphere

I know you only wanted three but hopefully some of these will be of some help to you

Fact 1 - The average temperatures throughout the globe have been climbing steadily almost every year for the past forty years, and are higher than they've been for more than a hundred and fifty years.

Fact 2 - Glacial core and geological information indicate that the Earth has been much warmer in the past than it is now. There have also been many periods during which it was much, much colder.

Fact 3 - Increased industrial activities in the last hundred and fifty years have produced a lot of gaseous emissions into our atmosphere, including huge amounts of carbon dioxide, which is a known greenhouse gas (capable of absorbing and trapping heat energy from the sun).

Many people have looked at Facts 1 and 3, and concluded that since temperatures have been increasing in close corellation with the amount of greenhouse gases we are producing through industrial activities, that human industrial activities may be the source of the increased temperatures. Using our continued increasing industrial activities as a guide, they extrapolate potentially catastrophic global climate changes directly caused by our industrial activities, and urge a curbing of the production of greenhouse gases to try to slow this potential catastrophe.

Others look at Facts 2 and 3, and argue that since the Earth has been hotter during many periods in the past, and it's also been colder, it's possible that the temperature changes seen in Fact 1 are simply due to normal climatic cycles, and have nothing at all to do with the millions of tons of greenhouse gases we've put into the atmosphere. They argue against curbing industrial expansion, as industrial expansion = money, and money generally improves the quality of life of everyone in the country where the money is produced.

1) It has been going on since the end of the Wisconsonian Stage of the Pleistocene, some 11,000 years ago.
2) It is helping the Earth reach its normal operating temperature, where ice at the polar regions is non-existant.
3) Man is helping it along by burning fossil fuels and putting "greenhouse gases", such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, into the atmosphere.

1) Global warming and global cooling are natural cycles that have been occurring for millions of years.

2) Catastrophic predictions of man-made global warming are the products of junk science.

3) The worthy cause of environmental protection has been hi-jacked by global warming zealots who are using global warming for financial and political gain (see Al Gore and his propaganda movie, "A Convenient Lie").

Theres something called "Greenhouse effect"
This is when the sun's light rays cause heat that gets trapped in the air, it is then placed into carbon dioxide and this heats up the atmoshphere.

Other than that check wikipedia.org and search global warming, and the greenhouse effect

1. It affects the globe
2. It has a warming effect
3. It is called global warming

hope this helps

1) Global warming is resulting in more severe weather patterns - drought in one place flooding rain in another

2) Fresh water glaciers are melting, threatening a rise is ocean levels that will cause low lying areas to be flooded by the ocean

3) Animal species senstive to climate change are dying off - threaten a mass extintions similar to what happened in the distant past to the dinosaurs and so forth

1) it is a natural phenonenum...An earth thing we just live on it, The Earth has a life of its own.
2) melting of the perma frost ---look up perma frost and those countries.
3) rising of water seas oceans, cold water entering warmer water.
alll very interesting-will we get life jackets from the government?
