This document summarizes the key issues related to global warming. It states that the burning of fossil fuels is increasing greenhouse gases and trapping heat in the atmosphere. This is causing sea levels to rise an estimated 1 meter by 2100 due to melting ice caps and glaciers, which could submerge many major cities. Global warming also threatens wildlife like polar bears as their Arctic sea ice habitat disappears. The document calls for actions to reduce carbon footprints to mitigate the effects of climate change.

1. GLOBAL WARNİNG

2. • The Earth is
heating up and
most scientists
believe that it’s all
our fault. When we
burn fossil
fuels, greenhouse
gases such ac
carbon dioxide
increase and
surround the earth
like a thick blanket.

3. Cities under the sea
• According to recent climate
reports, melting ice from the
polar ice caps and mountain
glaciers could cause sea levels
to rise by about 1metre by
2100.

4. • İf the ice sheets of Greenland and Antartica ever
melt completely, sea levels will rise about 60. That’s
enough to cover almost every major city on Earth.

5. Global warming is a serious threat to wildlife. In
particular, arctic polar bears are in great danger.

6. • The ice that they
hunt from is melting
very fast, so they
have to swim
further and further
to find food. Many
starve or drown.

7. • By 2100, summer ice may disappear completely in
the Arctic, and polar bears probably won’t survive.

8. Wild wild weather!
• Heavy rain and snow, storms, heatwaves, droughts, more
powerful hurricanes and tornadoes… these all happen a lot
more frequently these days and more of global warming.

9. So… what on earth can we do!
• Reduce your carbon footprint. Cycle, walk, or
take a bus instead of trevelling by car, use
enegy-saving bulbs, and wear more clothes
instead of turning up the heat. Experts say we
must do something NOW! If sea levels start
rising even faster, it will be impossible to stop!
