The Earth is wrapped
in a delicate web of
environmental systems that
interconnect. Food chains,
climate cycles, ocean
currents, animal migrations,
carbon/oxygen exchange
and so on.
We are now aware that
changes in any one of these
systems can have a huge
impact. Other changes such
as cutting down forests toharvest wood and clear new
farmland destroy wild life
habitats, and in many cases
the animals themselves.

opthis!
It even drives many native peoples from the land. It oftencreates top soil erosion and destroys the forest watershedthat provides clean drinking water to cities downstream. Andit slows the exchange of carbon dioxide into oxygen, which
in turn causes global temperatures to rise.

This will cause rising sea levels, permanently
submerging current coastal areas, islands, andsome other low-lying regions. The cause is
simple: the polar ice packs will begin melting.

Secondly we have all realized that global warming means hotter
temperatures generally, and more severe summer heat waves. This
may in turn lead to water shortages and even power shortages as air
conditioners and refrigeration systems work over-time.

Climate change may be a big problem, but there are
many little things we can do to make a difference. If we
try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of
greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. Many
greenhouse gases come from things we do every day.
