My input
1. What is global warming?
Global warming is an increase in the world's temperatures, believed to be caused in part by the greenhouse effect.
2. Do you believe in global warming? Briefly explain.
In some ways I do belive in global warming but I feel that we are slowing it down, because the O-zone layer is getting patch up.
3. Give three pieces of evidence to support your position on number 2.
-recycle
-hybrid
-solor power
4. Despite your response to #2, there are smart people out there that believe the complete opposite of what you believe. Give three pieces of evidence for someone with the opposing viewpoint.
Well I think that people have there own opinions but global warming is a fact. For one the ice in the artic is melting, sea level rising, and o-zone layer was ripping/
