Global warming
Global warming, driven by the greenhouse effect, is causing Earth's temperature to
climb, leading to serious problems worldwide.
Problems caused by global warming:
● Crazy Weather: We're seeing more extreme events like floods, heatwaves,
and hurricanes, causing deaths, hunger, and disease.
● Rising Seas: Melting ice is causing sea levels to rise, putting coastal cities
and ecosystems at risk. US coastlines are expected to increase by around 1
foot by 2050.
● Health Risks: Warmer temperatures worsen air pollution and heatwaves,
leading to breathing problems and increased deaths.
● Nature in Trouble: Plants and animals are struggling with the changes,
potentially leading to extinctions and damage to ocean life, and a lack of
water is available due to the changing nature of river flow.
What's causing it?
● Trapped Heat: Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, trap
heat in the atmosphere.
● Burning Fuel: Burning coal, oil, and gas for energy releases lots of these
gases.
● Cutting Down Trees: Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are being
destroyed.
● Farming: Modern farming practices also contribute to the problem.
How can we slow it down?
● Cut Emissions: Reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we release.
● Go Green: Switch to renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
● Save the Forests: Protect and replant forests to absorb carbon dioxide.
● Smarter Farming: Use more sustainable farming methods.
● Individual Efforts: We can all help by using less energy, choosing public
transportation, and buying sustainable products.
