The change in climate, chopping down trees and the loss of resources is some side effects of global warming. To start with, the change in climate affects global warming in many different ways. For example, hot and dry climates have caused the last 8 years of the world to be the hottest due to wildfires. These ginormous fires can end up harming humans, animals, vegetation, and structures. Also with the climate changing and the earth getting so hot, it happens to melt glaciers. For example melting of the glaciers affects humans, and animals. Humans mostly get their fresh water from the glaciers so without them we would lose a big portion of fresh water. Animals will lose there habitats and have no where to live so it will be hard for them to survive. Another example of a side effect on global warming is chopping down our resourceful trees and plants. For example, when construction workers go to cut down trees it just results in less oxygen. Plus you have to cut down more trees to make wood to either burn in a fire or build in a building. Last, the loss of resources results to causing global warming. Loss of resources means a lot to our planet earth. One way we can fix this is by recycling used materials such as, bottles, paper, metals. Anything reusable. Recycling can help by reducing the chopping of trees for paper.
The most important effect to global warming would be the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is when heat and sunlight get trapped in the earths atmosphere and cant get out. For example, when you leave your car under the sun in the summer, the heat comes in threw the windows but, it has no way of getting out. Therefore, the tempature rises. Also, when the earth gets to hot, some animals and humans cant except the change and will probley die off. Which leads to extinction. But, the greenhouse effect can be useful in some ways to.For example, it locks in heat. And without the heat our earth would most likely be freezing.

How can humans help prevent global warming?
There are a lot of things humans can do to prevent global warming from getting worse than it already is. One example would be use electronic things less often. In most cases fossil fuels, are burning to create electricity and the fossil fuels are letting off pollutants (chemicals), which get into the everyday air. To slow down the electronic burning that lets off chemicals, instead of a car, ride a bike on a nice day or instead of playing video games play a board game that the whole family can play. Another example, would be washing your clothes, even this can cause global warming. Instead of using hot water, use cold. It helps keep the color in and using hot water uses electricity, which lets off fumes into the air. Also instead of using an electric dryer, hang your clothes out as much as possible. Last, plant a tree or any other plants. Trees and plants give off oxygen, which help make people breathe and clears out the chemicals that are around. In conclusion there are many ways humans can help prevent global warming from occurring.
