What is global warming? Global warming is when the earths temperature rises, which in turn means a change in weather. A warmer earth could mean a change of rainfall pattern, a rise in sea levels and a wide range of impacts to animals, plants and also humans. Scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Also deforestation. Trees breathe in carborn dioxide (c02), which is one of the greenhouse gases, which helps reduce the impact of global warming so deforestation means worse global warming. also humans are the cause of global warming factories, driving your car even leaving on lights in a room when you leave cause global warming.

The rise in sea levels is bringing lots of problems. The ice and the glaciers in the Artic and Antartic is melting which is causing sea levels to rise. Soon islands will be underwater and many countries will be flooded in coastal areas so many people will have to move inland. The glaciers melting is also a problem for animals. The polar bears are becoming endangered. Polar bears eat seals, which they catch from the seal holes in the ice. Without the ice polar bears will not be able to eat. This is already starting to become a problem in some places.
