Global Warming

Over past centuries, we have been burning high amount of fuels such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas and gasoline. The gases emitted in this process, such as carbon dioxide, methane are building up in the atmosphere. They act like greenhouse glass trapping the heat. The result, some experts believe is the Earth heating up and undergoing global warming.

Global warming could cause:
• Global Temperature rise
• Flooding - as polar ice caps melt, raising sea levels
• Extreme weather events due to shifting ocean currents
• Deserts to spread as land dries up
