Global warming has been caused by human activities since the industrial revolution. People have been burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and releasing harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. This has led to increasing global temperatures, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. While we cannot stop global warming at this point, individual actions like reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling can help slow the process and allow the planet to recover over hundreds of years.

4. What's the BIG deal??? Increasing global temperatures will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount of precipitation, probably including expansions of subtropical deserts. The continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is expected, with the arctic region being particularly affected. Other likely effects include shrinkage of the Amazon rainforest and Boreal forests, increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions and changes in agricultural yields. WOW! Look at the increase!
