The document summarizes the causes and effects of global warming. It states that the greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise. This warming leads to more floods, droughts, and storms, especially impacting small island countries. As sea levels rise due to melting ice and thermal expansion, low-lying lands and islands are submerged, disrupting habitats and food sources for people and animals. The document also notes that global warming is harming ocean algae, reducing an important food source. Key contributors to global warming mentioned include fossil fuel combustion for electricity production and deforestation. Suggested solutions involve government policies around pollution limits and renewable energy as well as individual actions such as recycling and using public transportation
