I think global warming is a real issue in the world that should not be ignored. The burning of fuels, pollution, and things such as deforestation are hurting our planet. The pollutants we are releasing into the air from factories and such are destroying the Ozone Layer, which protects us from the sun’s ultra-violet rays. Because the Ozone is being destroyed the climate is getting warmer and the warm climate is making the icebergs up north melt. Since they are melting the ocean’s water level is getting higher, which could lead to intense flooding. In conclusion, I think that global warming is a very serious issue and we should take more steps toward preventing it.

Thanks for reading!

Global Warming is a part of evolution.But it is threatening our existence.
To avoid all this we should follow the following steps:-
1. we should use cycles for near distances.
2.planting saplings.
3.preventing deforestation.
4.Using hybrid cars.
5.You should close taps after use.
6.Using LPG for cooking

Global warming is caused because of our carelessness and if not stopped the world would come to a diastrous end .It is our responsibility to stop it right now.
We as students can make a difference :
1) recycling old papers by using them as book covers etc.
2) proper disposal of garbage.
3) planting more trees
4)switching off electrical appliances when not in use.

In my opinion global warming is caused by the heat trapping gases(CO2).It could be a natural event that is destined to happen but its impact can be minimised.The rapid increase of global temperature may cause the polar ice caps to melt, low-lying areas to flood, rising sea level,submerging of the beautiful coastal lands and islands.If the people of the world try to restrict the use of burning of fossil fuels,carbon emissions this catastrophe can be averted and minimised. let us all pledge
-to use more renewable sources ofenergy
-switch over from private transport to public transport .
- reduce the E-waste and recycle the same.
let’s begin a campaign at the school level to save our precious earth by
-closing the taps after use
-planting saplings
-celebrating vanmahoutsav or afforestation
-social forestry
-stopping deforestatoin.

global warming is a real threat to the whole earth. Yes I do agree that it is caused by the excessive burning of oil and fossil fuels. It is even caused by releasing harmful gases and smoke in the atmosphere . I think various precautions should be taken such as minimising the use of petrol, diesel etc. Using solar energy for heating and cooking to prevent global warming. Deforestation should be prevented and more trees should be planted. More awareness programs should be launched by the government and the other educational aids to decrease global warming must be practised. Banners should be put up on every street and street shows should be held to tell people that how dangerous this global warming is.

how students contribute to global warming:
*insted of using school buses we use cars for individual travel
*burn crackers
*leave electric appliances carlessly on standby mode
*destroy saplings which would grow into life-giving trees
How to stop global warming:
recycle,carpooling,reusing & throwing garbage in segregated bins,selling e waste to scrap dealers
using minimum electricity

Global warming is caused not only by the disastrous activities of humans but also caused by various natural occurrences like forest fires , cyclones ,etc . In my opinion if humans can contibute to cause global warming they can also contribute to prevent global warming . small things like car pooling , saving water resources like closing the tap while brushing your teeth and recycling of water by watering plants and using electricity judiciously can help to save our planet from facing an acute crisis one day.
In india and in our school we are having a campaign ‘ say no to plastics ‘ and thus everyone carries a cloth bag for shopping.we at school are careful to switch off lights and fans when we leave the class.

I believe that global warming is being caused by humans and their lack of responsibility of taking care of our world. If it is a natural occurence destined to happened then that is what god wants. Global warming is causing the ice caps to melt, the extinction of many animals,and many other disasters. Things we can do to aid this situation is by recycling, using wind energy with windmills, carpooling with others, and there are many other ways we can help save our environment.

Global Warming is caused by humans. We release heat-trapping gases as we power our modern day lives. Global Warming may cause smoggy days, heat waves, respitory and heart disease, asthma, and even death. We can try and prevent Global Warming by…

1. Turning off electrical appliances when not in use
2. Turning off water while brushing your teeth
3. Having a SHORT shower instead of a bath
4. Car pooling
