The gases can stay in the atmosphere for at least 50 yearsand up to centuries.

The result?

the globe

has heated up by about one degree Fahrenheit over the past century.

Consider this…

the difference in global average temperatures between modern times

and the last ice age

was only about

DISAPPEARING

Arctic ice is rapidly

Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.

Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting

Glaciers and mountains

areslowly melting.

Coral reefs

which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature

Suffered the worst bleaching-or die-off in response to stress- ever

recorded in 1998

We only have one beautiful planet

Earth.

And we are all affected And we are
