What is global Warming?
Ever since the industrial revolution we have been dependent on abundant and cheap fossil fuels. The most popular of these fossil fuels are coal and oil. When these fossil fuels are ignited they not only unleash energy they also let loose Carbon Dioxide and other harmful pollutants.  When Co2 is released, it collects in the atmosphere trapping in the heat from the sun. This creates a “blanket” over the Earth, which over time will slowly warm the planet. A shift of just a few degrees could be catastrophic to the planet, causing sea level rise, water shortages, food shortages, loss of animal habitat and extinction of many species. Global warming is already happening, glaciers are melting at an alarming rate and in the past 50 years the global temperature has been increasing the fastest in recorded history.  We need to act now!
