Information(1/2)

Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans.

The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contributors include methane released from landfills and agriculture.

Information(2/2)

Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a lot faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.

Warming…High concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap more heat than the one trapped ordinarily and this causes earth to warm up farther.

Effectsworldwide

Ice is melting worldwide.

Floods and storms are more common.

Temperature changes

Sea level rise.
