Greenhouse Gases

A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere tat traps energy. People and animals should be concerned about this. Because people are contributing to global warming it's making more greenhouse gasses, which is heating up the Earth. It is melting the ice in Arctic which is bad for the animals that live there. It's also just heating up everywhere andis making living on Eath more and more hard and miserable. Greenhouse gasses need to decrease, and people can help by contributing to Global warming.

AMAZED!! = D

YAY OBAMA!!!!!

Acid Rain


Acid Rain is more acidic than normal rain. It is one of the many kinds of air pollution. When coal burns it releases a lot of sulfur oxides into trees and sleet, snow, fog, and dry particles carry nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides into trees and lakes. When acid rain becomes very strong it can damage surfaces of statues, buildings, cars etc. The water in ponds and lakes can become so acidic, that plants, amphibians, fish, and insects suffer and die. To make the acid percentage go down people could burn less coa. We need to contribute to more rain and less Acid rain.
