1 Describe the "greenhouse effect." In what way is it necessary for life on Earth? 2 How many tons of greenhouse gases are emitted per person each year in the United States?

What were the five countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions in 1995? 3 Describe ways that global warming may affect people's health. What measures could help to reduce these health problems? 4 List five things people could do to reduce energy use and emissions in their daily lives. 5 Imagine that you have been invited to speak about global warming to a group of community leaders. Your goal is to present a quick overview about global warming: what it is, why we should be concerned about it, and how human activity may be part of the problem. Use information from the report Smart Savings: Climate Solutions for Cities found by clicking on Actions and then Local as well as information from your readings in creating your presentation.
