Question

Global Warming

The world is presently facing a crisis called Global Warming that should be stopped. It is important that people must get to know about this crisis that will affect the whole humankind, and try to stop it. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has states and local governments and businesses play an important role in meeting the national goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 18 percent by 2012. Al Gore and other scientific experts can’t change global warming but we can take steps in order to decrease global warming: 1. Conservation and greater efficiency in the way you use your energy and resources. 2. Being a conscious consumer and being aware of the environmental implications on everything you buy, and every transaction you make in the marketplace. 3. And then becoming politically active regardless of what party you may be aligned with by insisting that the politicians of all parties take this as their top priority. Agricultural output in many poorer countries could be significantly reduced. An additional 80-90 million poor people could be at risk of hunger and malnutrition later in the 21st century; hundreds of millions of people will be at increased risk of malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis, and other infectious diseases because of global warming. Another fact, is contributing to the problem is a phenomenon known as Thermal Expansion- as seawater warms, it takes up more space so as higher temperatures from global warming heat the oceans and melt ice, the oceans will rise and encroach on what is now land. Also global sea level has already risen by four to eight inches in the past century, and scientists’ best estimate is that sea levels will rise by an additional 19 inches by 2100, and perhaps by as much as 37 inches. Of course, CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. They are looking at pumping liquefied carbon underground into old gas fields and oil wells. And, doing so might help get more oil from oil fields. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases. Another example is might be due to normal natural events but it could be also be that humans are accelerating the natural process by creating excessive amounts of pollutants. Global temperatures are expected to continue to rise as human activities continue to add carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other green house (or heat-trapping) gases to the atmosphere. Most of the United States is expected to experience an increase in average temperature. Unless we act now, our children will inherit a hotter world, dirtier air and water, more severe floods and droughts, and more wildfires. Most frequent and more intensive heat waves could result in more heat-related deaths. These conditions could also aggravate local air quality problems, already afflicting more than 80 million Americans. Global warming is expected to increase the potential geographic range and virulence of tropical disease as well.
Therefore if the world does not start to take steps to end global warming soon, the outcomes will prove to be castrophic.

Answer 1

I agree with a lot of Caretaker's notes above.
Just a note to German Hooligan...indents (extra tabs and spaces) don't show up on here unless you use special characters or something. She probably DID have it tabbed well.

Here is my rendition of it. Mostly just little corrections. Let me know if you have any more questions about it.

The world is presently facing a crisis called Global Warming that should be stopped. It is important that people must understand this crisis that will affect the whole of humanity, and try to stop it. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has state and local governments and businesses playing an important role in meeting the national goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 18 percent by 2012.
Al Gore and scientific experts can’t directly change global warming, but we can take steps to decrease it: 1. Conservation and greater efficiency in the way we use our energy and resources. 2. Consuming consciously and realizing the environmental implications of everything we buy, and every transaction we make in the marketplace. 3. And, then becoming politically active regardless of what party with which we affiliate by insisting that the politicians of all parties make this their top priority.
Agricultural output in many poorer countries could be significantly reduced. An additional 80-90 million poor people could be at risk for hunger and malnutrition later this century. Plus, hundreds of millions of people will be at increased risk for malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis, and other infectious diseases because of global warming.
Another fact contributing to the problem is a phenomenon known as Thermal Expansion. As seawater warms, it takes up more space. So as higher temperatures from global warming heat the oceans and melt polar ice, the oceans rise and encroach on what is now land. The global sea level has already risen by four to eight inches in the past century, and scientists’ best estimates are that sea levels will rise by an additional 19 inches by 2100, and perhaps by as much as 37 inches.
Of course, CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. They are looking at pumping liquefied carbon underground into old gas fields and oil wells. And, doing so might help get more oil from oil fields. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.

(Indent) The world is presently facing a fatal crisis. This crisis is called Global Warming. It's very important that people get to know about this crisis, because many scientists say that it will affect all of humankind. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has states, local governments and businesses that play an important role in meeting the national goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity. They are trying to reach the goal of 18 percent by the year 2012.
(Indent) Al Gore and other scientific experts can’t reverse the effects of global warming, but we all can take steps in order to decrease global warming:
(Indent) 1) Conservation has greater efficiency in the way we all use our energy and our resources.
(Indent) 2) Be a conscious consumer. Be aware of the environmental implications on everything you buy, and every transaction you make in the marketplace.
(Indent) 3) Become politically active, regardless of what party you may be aligned with, by insisting that the politicians of all parties take this as their top priority.
(Indent) Agricultural output in many poorer countries could be significantly reduced. An additional 80-90 million poor people could be at risk of hunger and malnutrition later in the 21st century; hundreds of millions of people will be at increased risk of malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis, and other infectious diseases because of global warming. (Indent) Contributing to the problem is a phenomenon known as Thermal Expansion. As seawater warms, it takes up more space so as higher temperatures from global warming heat from the ocean water melts the polar ice caps, rising oceans everywhere and encroaching them on what is now land. Global sea level has already risen by four to eight inches in the past century, and scientists’ best estimate is that sea levels will rise by an additional 19 inches by the year 2100... perhaps as many as 37 inches. CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater.

Answer 4

I've gone through some of it. I think you identify many of the concerns but you overlook to prime causes. The increased industrial capacity of China which not only consumes energy and produces in manufacturing but also in building the plants for the operation. Manufacture of steel and polymeric products are two big villains.

You've also left out slash and burn and deforestation. This is a humble contribution. Inability to format essays was one of the reasons I left college prematurely. Good Luck on your paper. (feel free to send mail)


The world is presently facing a genuine crisis called Global Warming. Awareness of it’s impact on existence, as we know it, is essential to the solution. Key participants are, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, State and Local Governments and Industry. While there is a national goal of reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 18 percent by 2012 it’s implementation has been brought under question.

Al Gore and other scientific experts have entered the foray in an advisory capacity but on their own, can’t bring about he change.

Individuals can contribute to decrease global warming by:
1. Conservation and improved efficiency in our use and consumption of energy and resources.
2. Being a conscious consumer, aware of the environmental implications of products in their manufacture and use.
3. Becoming apolitically active in increasing awareness of constituents and the need to apply pressure on the politician to create affective measures within existing guide lines and willingness to accept new ideas.

Agricultural output in many undeveloped countries is being significantly reduced. An additional 80-90 million people in third world countries; are at risk of hunger and malnutrition sooner than later.

Hundreds of millions of people are at increased risk of infectious diseases due to environmental impact of global warming. Another revelation is the phenomenon known as ‘Thermal Expansion’ as seawater warms, it takes up more space so as higher temperatures from global warming heat the oceans and ice melts, the oceans will rise and encroach on what is now land.

Global sea level has already risen by four to eight inches in the past century, and scientists’ best estimate is that sea levels will rise by an additional 19 inches by 2100, and perhaps by as much as 37 inches. Of course, CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater.

They (who is they?) are looking at pumping liquefied carbon underground into old gas fields and oil wells. And, doing so might help get more oil from oil fields. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases. (Are you sure about this? Normally they use water.)

Answer 5

Should it be: the whole of humankind.
Also check out the sentence beginning: The U.S. Env... I find it a little ambiguous. The rest is pretty much o.k.

Answer 6

Good.
