WARNING

*****If you think your not effected by it you need to wisen up ... If you think that you dont need to change your lifestyle because there will be other people that will change ... if everyone thinks that way ummm theres no real change ... If you think that by you not doing anything nothing ging to happen, well you need to take a xecond and read this ... Its a real eye opener.
All of us realize that global warming is occurring on our planet, but very little of us understand the implications that this may have on our way of life. These rising global temperatures... which i know everyone has been like DAM whats up with our weather... are going to cause a so many changes on our planet, and we need to act now or prepare to adjust to some very profound changes.
First, these rising temperatures present a huge threat to our ice-caps. Layers of ice that have not melted for thousands of years are beginning to break apart and fall into the ocean. One of the biggest ice sheets on the planet, located on Greenland, is at a great risk of splitting apart and falling into the ocean. While it doesn't sound like too big of a deal, the loss of the Greenland ice sheet will cause catastrophic circumstances world wide. The world's sea level is expected to rise as much as 23 feet when the sheet falls, and that spells disaster for the coastal cities that represent some of the largest and most important centers of trade and commerce ( shit yall saw what happened with 9/11 messed every one up financially) across the planet. Manhattan would be sunk (now you know this is some crazy shit even manhattan, i live too dam close) ; much of Florida would be underwater, and that's not even to mention the worldwide consequences. Every area of the globe would be affected by this rising of sea levels, and the disaster caused would make hurricane damage seem like a blessing( hurricane damage; a blessing. umm does KATRINA ring a bell and this would be a blessing compared to what we face if we dont do something about global warming). Millions of people from the coastal cities (where im from and most people i know are from) will be without home or workplace; it would be one of the hugest human issues ever faced in our history. The changing of the climate could also affect a host of circumstances on our planet; crop yields can be affected by the rising temperatures, which would also pose significant problems to a planet of refugees. Much of the land may become barren due to the effects of temperature change, and we may find some of our most arable lands subject to the effects of soil erosion, and eventually, a transition into desert land. Also, water supplies, forests, and plant and animal life would be affected by the planet's changes, and we may not be able to see how significant these changes may affect our lives until they are already upon us exactly why WE all need to participate in fighint GLOBAL WARMING. For that reason, it's important that we increase our knowledge of global warming, and do our best to prevent it in the coming years. While it may have bad affects on our economy( ya dam money) and our way of life, we owe it to our children to give them a peaceful, safe planet to grow up in.
SO after all of that being said here are tips that you can do to avoid GLOBAL WARMING. If you know more than please ... please comment giving everyone more tips on saving our planet!!

-When buying electronic equipment, look for the ENERGY STAR label. These devices limit the use of power, thereby allowing you to cut consumption at least a little bit. Computers, fax machines, copy machines, and various other pieces of home office equipment can be found that are ENERGY STAR compliant.
-Insulating your home can both reduce your energy bill and help the planet by using less power.
-Fluorescent lights or ENERGY STAR lights can be purchased to bring down your electricity need.
-Use low flow faucets in both your shower and your sink. If you can't purchase a new toilet, placing a brick in the back of your toilet tank can cut down on the amount of water used in your toilet, saving water.When relocating, try to find a job close to your home. The very act of commuting is one of the biggest problems with global warming that we face, with suburban employees making hour-long commutes, draining our planet's oil supply and increasing greenhouse emissions. By carpooling 2 days a week, you can cut your greenhouse emissions by 1,590 pounds per year!
-When purchasing a new vehicle, look for one with a high miles-per-gallon rating. Hybrids are ideal, but any car that consumes less gas is recommended.
If you Know other tips dont for get to share ... comment
