Global warming is caused by human activities like driving cars, living in suburban homes, and burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. If left unaddressed, global warming will lead to more severe hurricanes, flooding, and desertification. We can all help address global warming by planting trees, driving hybrid cars, using more energy efficient light bulbs, recycling paper, and other everyday actions that reduce our carbon footprint. The document outlines the main causes and impacts of global warming, as well as individual actions we can take to help stop global warming.
