Greenhouse Effect Response (Science Menu)

As we learned about greenhouse gases the other day, I was intrigued enough to look up an article and respond to it for the science menu. The article states how much the world is heating up due to global warming. The ice on the Upsala Glacier is receding by 180 feet per year due to this extreme heating. Greenhouse gases tie into this article because an excess of these gases create the heating of our planet and our atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are natural but if we continue to pollute the earth with car emissions, the gases increase. I find this quite depressing because we should be keeping our planet clean so we can live safe and sound. If we don't start now we will never survive later in our futures. Reducing car emission and factory emissions are small steps towards this big goal. The more we use bikes and our feet to get to places, the less we pollute the earth. This is because we don't release gas emissions like automobiles do. Lets make a stand against global warming and save our planet.
