Global Warming by Teng Ho Aik

What is causing global warming?The burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is cutting down trees. Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air. There is a growing body of evidence, including melting ice, changes in long-term weather patterns, a rise in global CO2 levels, etc.

What will happen if global warming continues?Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It’s already too late to stop global warming completely. If the warming gets worse, there may be more plants and animals that become extinct. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.

What is being done about global warming?
Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. Although, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government should make laws about it, while other people think it is social responsibility to decide what to do.

What can I do about global warming?
You don’t have to wait until you are grown to do something about global warming. Since the burning of fossil fuels is burned for energy, and everyone uses it, everyone can help stop global warming just by using less energy.




Ice melts because of too much heat, which is caused by global warming.
Smoke released into the air, causing global warming.
Bushfire because of hot weather, which is caused by global warming.
Rise in sea level, which is caused by melted polar sheets, also from global warming, which causes floods.
Floor dried up because of lack of moisture, which is caused by global warming.
