Global warming is the term used to describe the rising of the average temperature on Earth. It has to do with the overall climate of the Earth rather than the weather on any given day. As a result, storms and droughts are becoming more intense, temperatures are rising, polar ice caps are melting, low coastal areas are flooding, animals are losing their habitats, etc. All of those changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely on (mainly the Co2). What can we do about it? We can help by trying to cut down on the amount of electricity we use, planting trees, carpooling to events, using more bicycle than cars, and other alternatives.
