The document discusses global warming, its causes, and effects. It explains that global warming is a rise in Earth's temperatures due to increased carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This greenhouse effect is trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. The effects of global warming include increased health issues for people, disruption of animal migration and food sources, damage to crops and plants, rising sea levels submerging land and coastal areas, and more extreme weather. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through practices like using renewable energy, driving less, recycling, and planting trees can help mitigate the impacts of global warming.
