Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, where gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere and cause the planet to warm. This is expected to raise sea levels and alter regional climates and ecosystems, affecting things like forests, agriculture, and wildlife. To address global warming, we must reduce emissions from fossil fuels and deforestation, as well as implement other climate solutions on both individual and policy levels.
5. WHAT WILL HAPPEN ?
“Rising global
temperatures are expected
to raise sea level, and
change precipitation and
other local climate
conditions. Changing
regional climate could alter
forests, crop yields, and
water supplies. It could
also affect human health,
animals, and many types of
ecosystems. Deserts may
expand into existing
rangelands, and features of
some of our national parks
may be permanently
altered.”
6. The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of
infared radiation by gases in a planet's atmosphere warm its lower atmosphere
and surface.
It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, discovered in 1860 by John
Tyndall, was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896

8. Stop Deforestation
Tropical deforestation
accounts for about 10
percent of the world’s heat-
trapping emissions.
Reducing tropical
deforestation can
significantly lower global
warming emissions and —
together with efforts to
reduce emissions from
fossil fuels — plays an
integral role in a
comprehensive long-term
solution to global warming.
9. REDUCE EMISSIONS
In order to effectively address
global warming, we must
significantly reduce the
amount of heat-trapping
emissions we are putting into
the atmosphere.
As individuals, we can help by
taking action to reduce our
personal carbon emissions.
But to fully address the threat
of global warming, we must
demand action from our
elected leaders to support
and implement a
comprehensive set of climate
solutions.
10. CONCLUSION
Global warming is affecting plants,
animals, humans and the earth.
We need to learn how to conserve
our use of fossil fuels to minimize
carbon dioxide production. This
will slow down the effects of
global warming.
