How can humans make a positive impact on global warming?

# data[].attributes.body
Global Warming is a gradual increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of heat radiation from the sun getting trapped in Earth's atmosphere by certain gases released into the atmosphere.  (livescience.com/37003-global-warming.html)

From my survey, this data shows that most people chose the correct answers of what activities are causing Earth's atmosphere to warm, these activities were driving for too many miles, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation.

# data[].attributes.body
From research that I gathered it states, "Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock.This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming." (ec.europa.eu/clima/change/causes_en) This connects to my data by showing that these human activities were are doing on a regular basis are actually more harmful than we think. These activities are releasing dangerous gases for our atmosphere to hold which is ultimately heating the Earth and it's atmosphere which is known as the greenhouse effect.

From my survey, this data shows that that most people chose the two main gases being released and they were Carbon Dioxide and Methane Gas. These two gases are staying in the Earth;\'s atmosphere and are keeping the sun's radiation in the atmosphere, which is heating the Earth.

From research that I gathered it states, "Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane that accumulate in the atmosphere and create the heat-reflective layer that keeps the Earth at a livable temperature. These gases form the insulation that keeps the planet warm enough to support life, however too much gas is being released into the atmosphere which is heating the planet at a dangerous and rapid rate, which is something to look out for." (climatechange.lta.org) This information supports my data of the two gases are collecting in the atmosphere at a large amount and the way these gases hold the heat is heating the Earth at a dangerous rate.

From my survey, this data shows that many people selected the correct answers of the climates that are being majorly affected by global warming. These climates were, weather patterns, arctic, ocean, and in some parts of the world, tropical rain forest.

# data[].attributes.body
From research that I gathered it states, "Projections of future climate over the U.S. suggest that the recent trend towards increased heavy precipitation events will continue. Hurricane-associated storm intensity and rainfall rates are projected to increase as the climate continues to warm. It is projected to rise another 1 to 8 feet by 2100. This is the result of added water from melting land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.The Arctic Ocean is expected to become essentially ice free in summer before mid-century." (climate.nasa.gov/effects/) This data supports my results stating that weather patterns, arctic, and oceans are going to be the main climates and patterns hit the hardest with global warming continuing.

# data[].attributes.body
From my survey, this data shows that the variety of answers were spread out throughout the data. Most people however got the answer wrong. The correct answer of arctic ice that has melted in the last 30% as a result of global warming is 10%.

# data[].attributes.body
From research that I gathered it states, "Polar ice caps are melting as global warming causes climate change. We lose Arctic sea ice at a rate of almost 13% per decade, and over the past 30 years, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95%. If emissions of gases continue to rise unchecked, the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by 2040. But what happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic. Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects around the world." (worldwildlife.org) This data supports my survey and other research showing the arctic ice is melting from the gas missions and global warming and the loss of ice is effecting many environments and climates.

From my survey, this data showed that many of my respondents are willing to try new ways to conserve energy and reduce the amount of gas emissions their are in the atmosphere to help slow down the rate of global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
From research I found, "Making a few small changes in your home and yard can reduce greenhouse gases and save you money. These include, changing light bulbs, heating and cooling smartly, insulating home, recycling, water efficiently, homemade gardens, using energy saver such as solar or wind power, and being your own carbon footprint." (19january2017snapshot.epa.gov) This connects to my survey by giving similar and a few more options on how us as individuals can help conserve energy and not release as many emissions into the atmosphere to slow down o even end global warming.

# data[].attributes.body
For majority of my results from my survey it showed that from my respondents most said used social media to benefit each other and spread the word on global warming and how we can all do our part one way or another to slow down or even prevent global warming from occurring and keep our planet and all of it's climates and ecosystems protected and healthy.

"The impacts of global warming are such that I have no hesitation in describing it as a "weapon of mass destruction." Like terrorism, this weapon knows no boundaries. It can strike anywhere, in any form."- John Houghton

"There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years." (dosomething.org)

"Heat waves caused by global warming present greater risk of heat-related illness and death, most frequently among people who have diabetes who are elderly or are very young." (nrdc.org)

My solution is a solution that involves everyone as individuals. We have to use social media, peaceful protests that hold the leaders and government officials accountable toward global warming and the seriousness towards it. Using social media we must use our pages to show data and find support to show our encouragement to fight to end global warming. For protesting as individuals we might look small to the government but we can be one large voice of accountability to the government to make sure they stand up as well to solve the problem that is known as global warming.
