What is the green house effect? The Greenhouse effect: The sun radiates heat waves that come all the way to the earth. Normally these heat waves are reflected off of the atmosphere but the Greenhouse effect is when those heat waves are trapped in the atmosphere due to C02 build up which warms up the earth more than it should be.

The below website contains photos of glaciers before and after. http://www.worldviewofglobalwarming.org/pages/glaciers.html Many of the glaciers today are melting due to the effects of global warming. So what is Global Warming? To begin, everything thing from climate to animals has a purpose on this earth. When one of those things are tampered with or taken away, such as the extinction of an animals the entire circle of life is effected, now if may not be very noticeable but it is something. Example: Say that your car's air condition broke, you will still be able to drive your car with the expense of no air condition. Nothing says that the car won't function but eventually the broken air condition can lead to more problems to your car if it is not taken care of. Which is what the earth is like, the glaciers maybe melting rising the sea levels, depleting habitats for animals, and eventually the water will rises so high that our cities on the coasts will be over flooded, BUT, we will still be here, the earth still works but it's not the same.
