In my opinion, global warming is something referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the earth's surface by by carbon dioxide and Other gases in the atmospheric, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. Each time we burn gasoline, oil, coal, or even natural gas, more carbon dioxin is added to the atmosphere.

I think climate change has effect many countries in the world. There is a great deal of data to show human activity has contributed to global warming .Scientists agree that certain things such as realizing carbon into the atmosphere from factories power plants, and automobiles, make global warming. There are still people who think global warming is an exaggerated problem. I believe completely about global warming and it is very dangerous about the people, and all the countries that will be damaged by this cause. It is a popular subject new film, and television programs have all dealt with the problems caused by global warming. The reasons that affects the environment, melting ice ,air quality is getting worse, oceans are warmer and weather are becoming unpredictable. Climate change is one of the best ways to understand of global warming. Changes to the environment naturally lead to changes in the lives of the animals that live there. There are some solutions are in place just about every major city has a plan in place to combat global warming. Many countries around the world have started their intention to reduce carbon. This is a theory that scientist believed that earth is in a period of warming, but it was brought sooner and quicker because of an artificial increase in the green house effect. It is caused by green house gas from animals. People believe that temperatures on both land and ocean will start to increase, weather is already starting to change and hot summers are being felt. Ocean levels are expected to rise and desserts are expected to expand in many areas including Africa and the Middle East. This causes a shortage of drinkable water in some areas of the world. An increase in seas temperature could have cause disease .Many efforts are being made to prevent this tragedy. Global warming problem can be solved by discuss which of them are present in our community like cut back on the energy and come up with other alternative energy, save our trees, recycle bottles and newspapers, use pubic transportation like bus and metro instead of cars .We have to be more responsible about global warming because if it continues like that we are going to lose humans, trees and animals. All the people in the world have to help to slow the progress of global warming.

I think yes,the climate change does have an affect on some countries.For example,one country I know of is Africa.In Africa,the climate there is always very hot.I don't know how people and animals could survive in this country with such a hot climate.One way I think animals survive is,they find a tree for shade.Also,they find water in underground caves,rivers,ponds,and even swamps.For example,the elephants with their tender and hard skin that protects them from the heat,that is the way they survive.People in Africa survive by building huts or mud houses.The mud makes it cool inside and blocks out the sun.People there (like animals) go to the rivers and take a bath there and wash their clothes there and get their water for all their needs from the river.That is the most common way that they can cool themselves from the extreme heat and survive in this country.Unfortunately, the government isn't helping that much.First of all,the government should build a water treatment plant.Then, they should clean the river water at these water treatment plants.Also,they should irrigate the water to peoples house or cities.Still,the people there manage to survive in this harsh climate.In my opinion,the government should really help the people in Africa,so they could be like us.

Climate change is one of the most pressing problems to all of countries in the world especially an agriculture country. Vietnam is one of agriculture countries. Climate change is already strong impact to Vietnam. Viet Nam was affect by flood. Flood is cause of global warming. That flood is death of many people, damage many rice field. More floods in the rainy season and severe droughts in the dry season. Crops often don't survive. The Red River is the second largest river in Viet Nam after the Mekong. Every year, even at the peak of Vietnam's dry season, when the Red River is at its lowest, Hanoi's skilled captains manage to negotiate their flat-bottomed boats through its shallow waters. But this year, with a drought gripping the entire country and water levels at record lows, the river is eerily quiet. What is normally a bustling waterway is becoming a winding river of sand, and farmers who depend upon the river for irrigation are watching the expanding sandbars as nervously as the boat captains. The government cannot control change of climate. They do anything they can to help people after climate as food, house, medication.

I think that climate change has effected many countries in the world. For some countries it is really hotter than it was before. The temperature is rising a lot every year. I do not really know what country is suffering the most but parts of south America is affected most by heavy snow and rain. South America is affected most because the warming makes evaporation which causes clouds, and heavy rain and snow will fall. People should stop polluting earth, if we keep polluting earth we will soon all be flooded and the world will come to an end. I think that number one thing that people need to do is stop driving to much because the car gives out pollution which causes global warming and climate change. I do not think that the government is doing enough to stop the climate change. Government is focused more on politics and keep the country together. I think that the government should start doing more to stop climate change.

It seems, that Earth sent to human being a lot of precautions such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Chornobilska disaster; Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans…Over last 50 years, human activities to bring our environment to another global catastrophe such as climate changes, stratospheric ozone depletion, loss of biodiversity, changes in hydrological systems and supplies if freshwater, land degradation and stresses on food-producing systems. Observations show increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level.

It seems, that Earth sent to human beings a lot of precautions such as tsunamis, earthquakes; Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans…But we still did not received the message; over last 50 years, human activities brought our environment to another global catastrophe such as climate changes, stratospheric ozone depletion, species extinction, changes in hydrological systems and supplies of freshwater, land degradation and stresses on food-producing systems. Observations show increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level. Unless we stop right now and change our wasteful consumer culture our children will inherit from us not a green planet but a planet filled with garbage. People around the world should recycle, choose the organic products and take a walk or bike ride once in a while. Government should support removable energy and green businesses and impose strict regulations on emissions and pollution emitters. Only joined efforts of all the people can produce the significant changes and reverse the damage we have done.

Climate change this is problem in the world nowadays. I think so last time many countries very pollute our culture. Many countries have too many factories. These factories throw out a lot of dirty in air. Every people breathe this dirty air. We inhale this dirty air. This is continues a lot of problem with our health. I know many countries cut down too many trees. This is too bad because trees clean our air. This is very important for us. Also many countries don’t have enough clean water. This is too bad. Every one needs clean water and air. Many governments make meeting and attract many countries do something, that our climate is not hotter. But, I don’t see any result from governments. This is too bad and only empty words. They must do some decision. Everyone also try to do our climate is clear. Every people and country must use new technology. For example sun batteries, hybrid cars, don’t use cars witch use too much gas. More use electricity than gas grow up more trees and try don’t polluted our air, water, rivers, lakes and our culture. We have to save our planet for our children and grandchildren

I think climate change has affected many countries. One of those countries is the USA. We have pollution of air, and one of the biggest problems is too much cars. They make more than half of the world’s smog. Gasoline that people use for cars, buses, trucks, pollutes the air. It comes out as chemical and forms in a cloud. There are many factories that mix in the air and has a chemical reaction. When sun heat the earth, light add to the reaction. As matter of effect, we have global warming now. Air pollution influences on people’s health, animals. We have now a big increasing in many illnesses like cancer, asthma, lung problems etc. People should change something that our air will be cleaner. They need to use less cars that bring big pollution. The government made a law that called the Clean Air Act. This Act controls many companies that they change their products. The car companies change of the things inside of the cars.

The climate changes for many reasons. We have a lot of pollution in the air from the car we drive and or because people throw out trash on the freeway. This effects the climate because gas get mixed up and it is very bad. If people change the way they drive or the way they give to the world then it will be very good and the climate will not change. Also tsunamis and earthquakes change the weather too.

Climate change has affected any countries in the world today. It’s affected to industrialize countries. Those country have serious climate change are America, japan, china, Russia, English… because they have many industries, factories. The smokes from industries, cars are effect to the earth. They change climate. They make climate hotter. These are cause has many disasters on the earth like blood, drought, earth quake…. They make dangerous to people all over on the world. The government and people try to do avoid climate change. For example, they reduce the wastes from cars, industries. Especially American, they lead to protect environment on the world. They product cars to use energy by battery, don’t spent too much gas like before. They have systems to process the waste from industries. They try to reduce climate change and make the environment better. Climate change has effected to people on the world and people try to reduce it with many methods.

Yes I think climate change has affected any country in the world .it is one of the big global problem that must concern all of us because the problem that affect live the whole earth and all people who live on it .many countries in the world have affected by climate change and it is still affecting millions people around the world, specially third world countries. The cause of this change is mostly by human activity .For example industrial countries are more contributing for climate change because carbon dioxide and other gases emit from big industries to atmosphere. Also many part of Africa and Latin America, people cut trees for living and for other purposes as a result land changes into semi dessert every year. Therefore, if there are no trees, less oxygen it means less Ozone to protect us from harmful sun radiation, less rainfall and hot climate. However, there are many things people can do to avoid it. First people should recycle paper products which decrease deforestation. Second, people should plant trees. In addition, government around the world should also take responsibility to prevent air pollution and start implementing legislation that would be effective to protect deforestation.

A couple years ago I didn’t care about climate change. But now it seems more terrible and dangerous. Every day, TV news gives us more and more information about climate change. For example, in Africa, Sahara desert is growing, and there are more droughts. People are one of the factors in that because of over farming and deforestation. On other end of the world, California gets less rain and snow while population is growing while East coast gets more rain and more storms. I think that main reason of that are people activities and environmental pollution. It must be admitted that environment pollution doesn’t know national border. Very often if some problem is made on one place than we can see effect in other places. Today governments make some laws for prevention environment pollution but they are not effective and helpful. People should try to avoid climate change when they will use less fuel, natural gas, and disafforest. Also they should think more about future because we are not owners of surroundings. We are just tenants of environment.

Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide. “The term greenhouse is used in conjunction with the phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.” If the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, then more heat gets trapped than needed, and the Earth might become less livable for humans, plants and animals. Another way of looking at this is with a simple analogy. Consider salt and human health: a small amount of salt is essential for human life; slightly more salt in our diet often makes food tastier; too much salt can be harmful to our health. In a similar way, greenhouse gases are essential for our planet; the planet may be able to deal with slightly increased levels of such gases, but too much will affect the health of the whole planet. Global warming, regardless of cause is expected to warm the poles more than the tropics, warm the winters more than the summers, and warm the nights more than the days. The northernmost and southernmost countries will be most affected by temperature. African nations, Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Egypt on the north and South Africa on the south will be most affected by temperature.

In my opinion, there has not been enough evidence to prove that there has been any kind of climate change. So I would not be able to think of any country that has climate change. However pollution does exist. People can do alot to change that for example Many Americans love to drive Big vehicles that consume alot of fuel. Government can retire old polluters. Focus more on green energy so that our air water would be much cleaner not only for us but our children. The ocean is something else that we should preserve, as it is also under attack.

Global Warming has been a threat for many years. Global Warming is caused by heat-trapping gases like: carbon cioxide, greenhouse gases, methane, etc. Global Warming is causing the following problems: air pollution, warmer water temperature, floods, fires, rise in sea levels, etc. It causes the earth’s temperature to rise. This change in temperature affects all life on earth, especially in the Arctic, the home of the polar bears. Global warming is forcing polar bears to change their behavior in order to survive in their melting habitat. There has been much discussion about just how high the sea level is expected to rise because of global warming. Not only is the sea level rising because there is more water, there is also the nightmare that is called thermal expansion. As water warms, it expands. It may only be a small amount but given the size of the oceans, even a small change will produce large results. The problem with increased sea level is that rivers find it harder to discharge their water into the sea. Whenever this happens, it causes flooding. This is the reason why Bangladesh regularly floods. Most of the world's population live near rivers and the sea; therefore most of the world's population are going to have to find somewhere else to live.

Climate change has affected most of the countries in the world, Climate change Is not only an environmental problem. It has big problem for some poorer Countries, because their economies depends on natural resources like agriculture, Forestry and fisheries when the weather become warm and warm all natural Resources are in the hazard. Some countries in Africa and south Asia, some Countries sustainable trends in greenhouse gas emissions. This is the great decision For avoid climate change. Climate change mitigation in developing countries; there Are Brazil, china, India, Mexico, South Africa and Turkey.

In my opinion, climate change has effect for countries in the world. Environment temperature is very important for existence. We know that average temperature rise each year. We cannot stop global warming, so swelter will kill more and more people. Glaciers can melt away and seaboards can be flooded. A lot of kinds of animals, birds, and fish disappear from our Earth. When people disafforest they don’t think which it will be result for our surroundings. There are natural factors of global warming too such us volcanoes and earthquakes. For examples, when volcano erupted in Indonesia in 1815, average temperature was reduced on 30C. After that, next year was very cold summer in Europe and North America but the situation was improved in years. The 2010 Haiti and Chile earthquakes were very terrific and sent a ripple effect across the ocean to Hawai’i. If something happened in one place in our Earth it has causal relationship with other places of our Earth. Each person has to remember about that and tries to prevent global warming when we will use less electrical energy, water, gas, cars, and try to use energy saving devices, walking, and bicycles. I don’t know which laws were approved about climate change, but I know that each of us must love and appreciate earth where we live. Maybe, governments have to think more and decisive measures for the prevention of climate change. Do you want to destroy or keep Earth?

Absolutely. Take the United States, for example. Sacramento is getting a lot more rain than it has before. Our capital, Washington, DC, recently got so much snow, it was a disaster. They were not prepared for such snowfall and it shut down transportation for days. Portland, Oregon is getting more warm days than it has ever had before. When we say global warming, it doesn’t mean that it will get warmer everywhere. It could get warmer in some places and colder in others. Some places are getting more rain, and others don’t get as much as they used to.

I am sure that climate change has effected all the countries. The are amore and more differences in the weather every year. In some palaces temperature is getting higher in some lover. I know that he weather in Ukraine, Odessa is a allot different from the time I was a child. I remember how fun it was to stay outside when it was raining in the summer, now it can rain only in the fall and Spring. But in the winter it is snowing a lot harder, than it used to be.

Climate change due to global warming has affected many countries in the world. For example, climate in Korea also has been changed somewhat over the past decade. Korea has truly distinctive four seasons -spring, summer, fall and winter and they each last about three months. But this pattern had been changed; summer and rainy season in summer is getting longer and spring and fall is getting shorter. Anyway, the best way we can do is reducing Green House Gas emissions. I think this government is doing much better than previous government. This government encourages using green energies such as wind, solar and nuclear energy. They also adapted more stringent ambient air quality standard.

In my opinion Global warming could significantly change the Russian climate, though it will affect different parts of the county in different ways. The impact will be especially strong on Russia’s extensive permafrost and forests. Rising temperatures will also influence the economy and people’s lifestyles. Among potential positive changes are reductions in the winter heating season and a longer growing season for Russian agriculture. But it is not clear that Russia will be able to take advantage of these benefits: the country will also face higher temperatures, shifting climate zones, more droughts, forest fires, and extreme weather phenomena. Many types of plants and animals will be threatened. Russia can help limit the possible adverse consequences, but doing so will require skillful management and the introduction of a wide range of new policies.

I think that climate chanege affects some countries. For example it causes Ukraine. Because of global warnings in the West part of Ukraine in the spring is usually floods. It also affects islands that often have floodings. Also, i think that global warning causes California because in the summer time it's too many fires. But people try to water grass around their houses. I think that goverment is hiring scientifics to research effects of climate changes and how to avoid it. Scietists are studying about global warming and what causes it. Also, they ask people to recycle everything that is possible because garbage is throwing away in the ocean and in the future it can cause a big problem. Also, they ask people to use water and heat as less as it is possible.

The countries from South Asia are the most affected by climate change. Higher temperature causes severe floods, cyclone and sea level rise. These weather events get worst the economy of these poor countries. One thing what people should do about it is to drive less pollutant cars, to make carpool, to ride bicycles, to not throw garbage in the environment and to plant trees. The governments are not doing enough. They should be more proactive and make bigger and longer lasting changes. For example, there are laws which prevent the factories to throw large amounts of destructive waste in the environment. However, the interest groups which represent the factories influence the governments, so many times the factories are free to work without any restriction from the government.

Yes, I think climate change has affected most of the countries in the world. Climate change has change de life of many animals and plants. We are suffering the consequences of climate change also, but we are responsible for most of climate change. My country, Mexico, is suffering the climate change. I always hear people saying that the weather has changed a lot. They say when I was a young, it wasn’t that hot. In Mexico rain season is in the summer, but this year rained at the end of the winter. We can see in others countries is happening the same thing. If we want to control or may be stop the climate change, we need to start doing something now. Everybody has to do something to help to control the climate change. We can do thing like recycling, use less plastic, walk instead of using the cars, don’t cut the trees, don’t pollute our water sources, etc. I think the governments are not doing enough to control and stop the climate change. They have made laws to combat the climate change, but sometimes people don’t do what they say. Here In the United States of America the government has new laws and rules to combat the climate change, but is not enough. I think every country in the world has to do his part to control this important issue.

I think that climate change has an affect on countries like Ukraine, Russia. In these countries there has been a lot of rain and snow falling. I think people can’t do anything to avoid it. They have to only pray to God if they want to do something. I really thing the government are not doing enough to limit the effects of the climate change. For example, the government only sweeps the streets from the snow and mud.

There are varied opinions as to whether or not “Global Warming” is actually occurring. I think that it could possibly be a political plot to try to influence people to become more energy efficient and to adhere to new regulations and policies. It is a way for government to control more of our daily lives.

In my opinion climate changes have effected all parts of the world, but i will use the phillipines as my example, This has been years of El Nino in the phillipines el nino has increased the heat to such degree that there is a drastic drought, that has caused the corn and rice fields to dry up as there is a shortage of water for irrigation. In order to have enough food the people have had to import rice and corn from other counries at a great expense. The shortage of water has also caused a shortage of electrical power causing the people to resort to using their emergency power and that may cause brownouts. I believe government are trying hard to limit effects of global losing. The phillipine government has said it will monitor the water usage, rotating water supplies where necessary and check for all leaks. They ask people to report anyone who uses water unnecessarly encouraging everyone to conserve water. They are even looking for ways to save water such as water-free urinsld.

I think that climate changes have affected all parts of the world. Climate changes are a cause of global warming, which is a problem all around our world. People are causing more air pollution and they don't recycle their materials. A lot of bad gases are being emitted and that makes our Earth dirty and unhealthy for people to live in. As a result, the world is becoming hotter as a whole. Temperatures are rising and ice in the oceans is melting. That makes hot parts of the Earth extremely hot, and cold parts hotter. For example, some people in Alaska have been used to living in cold temperatures. They depend on snow and other factors of the coldness to live. Some animals that exist there cannot live in hotter temperatures. So as the world gets hotter, they won't be able to live and will become extinct. Climate changes do affect the world we live in.
