Global warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases that collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up.
Global warming puts coral reefs in danger as the ocean warms, scientist fear that coral reefs will not be able to adapt quickly enough to the resulting changing conditions, and bleaching incidents and diseases will increase.
With the start of industry in the 1700's, humans began emitting more fossil fuels from coal, oil, and gas to run our cars, trucks, and factories. By driving a “smarter” car, you will not only save on gas, but help prevent global warming.
Heat waves caused by global warming present greater risk of heat-related illness and death, most frequently among people who have diabetes who are elderly or are very young
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have
shifted and trees are flowering sooner.
While most climate change generally happens slowly over time, there is evidence that episodes of rapid cooling have occurred in the past, with temperatures falling dramatically over periods of 10 to 20 years. Scientists have found evidence that this has happened at least twice within the past 12,700 years.
Why is climate change happening?
What can we do to stop climate change?
We need to analyze the difficult situation in which we are, we are destroying our planet and we should change our actions. For example, I begin to recycle each material I have because it will avoid cutting trees and I contribute to help our planet. I give the correct use of the nature resources, too.
ResponderEliminarWe can to change our way to think and star to think to save our planet....
ResponderEliminarI always try to recycle as much as I can. But I'm disapointed to see that we are not many people doing this. What´s the point on separating the trash at home when the dustmen comes and mixs all together again! Adults should be teaching children on how to save our planet. :(
ResponderEliminarWe have to stop throwing garbage, planting trees and avoid using products that can damage our planet.
ResponderEliminarIt is necessary start working to help our planet making little actions as
ResponderEliminarRecycling or reusing the plastic things. It could be also practicing the classification of garbage.
