3. What is Global warming ?
G
L Global warming -- a gradual increase in planet-wide
O temperatures
B Earth has been hottest in at least 400 years, and
A possibly even the last 2,000 years.
L Studies indicate that the average global surface
temperature has increased by approximately 0.5-1.0°F
W (0.3-0.6°C) over the last century.
A This warming is largely attributed to the
R increase of greenhouse gases
