    Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere and increasing Earth's temperature. This causes rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and threatens many plants and animals. Individual actions like recycling and using less fossil fuels can help reduce global warming.

    What is Global Warming?

    • Global Warming is the increase of


    • the Earth’s
    • temperature due to effect of greenhousegases, such as carbon dioxide
    from burningfossil fuels or from deforestation, which trapheat that
    would normally escape from Earth.
    What causes Global warming?

    • O2
    greenhouse gases are responsible for globalwarming. Some
    otherthings that causes it isfossil fuels in cars, factories and
    electricityproduction. The gas responsible for the mostglobal
    warming is carbon dioxide, alsoknown as CO2.

    What are the effects of globalwarming?
    • Sea level rising:Large volumes of melted ice which turns into
    water,then flows down into streams, rivers, lakes and seas.The result is
    rising sea and water levels, causingfloods and massive destruction to
    towns and citiesnear the water.Extinction:The lives of many plants and
    animals will becomeextinct. For example, the survival of polar bears
    andpenguins in icy regions are in danger, as they cannotsurvive
    anywhere else. Other plants and animals inhot areas will die if
    temperatures suddenly becometoo cold for them.
    • Floods and droughtsclimate change also causes water bodies todry out.
    There is also dryness that causesdroughts, bush fires and as a result,
    manywater and land animals will dieExtreme weatherChanging
    climate may also cause theweather to become more extreme, be
    itdroughts or violent storms and heavy rain.
    What changes has globalwarming made to
    our Earth?
    • Day by day, as global warming continues, the worldgets hotter and
    hotter and ice melts. As the ice melts,it causes sea levels to rise. Also,
    some of the hottestyears were in the last fourteen years. The hottest of
    them all was in 2005. The weather in different placeshas changed.
    Some animal habitats are in danger. Forexample: polar bears.
    How can we help stopglobal warming?
    • We can help stop global warming byrecycling recyclabe things.
    Eg. Bottles,plastic bags, plastic containers, paper and soon. We can
    also cut down on green housegases and cut down less trees. If you do
    dothat, that will help the Earth
    What could happen if globalwarming doesn’t
    stop?
    • If global warming doesn’t stop, there will bemore floods, shortage of
    natural resources,habitats will be destroyed, and the world willbe more
    polluted.
