GLOBAL WARNİNG

• The Earth is heating up andmost scientistsbelieve that it’s allour fault. When weburn fossilfuels, greenhousegases such accarbon dioxideincrease andsurround the earthlike a thick blanket.

Cities under the sea

• According to recent climatereports, melting ice from thepolar ice caps and mountainglaciers could cause sea levelsto rise by about 1metre by2100.

• İf the ice sheets of Greenland and Antartica ever melt completely, sea levels will rise about 60. That’s enough to cover almost every major city on Earth.

Global warming is a serious threat to wildlife. Inparticular, arctic polar bears are in great danger.

• The ice that theyhunt from is meltingvery fast, so theyhave to swimfurther and furtherto find food. Manystarve or drown.

• By 2100, summer ice may disappear completely in the Arctic, and polar bears probably won’t survive.

Wild wild weather!

• Heavy rain and snow, storms, heatwaves, droughts, morepowerful hurricanes and tornadoes… these all happen a lot more frequently these days and more of global warming.

So… what on earth can we do!

• Reduce your carbon footprint. Cycle, walk, ortake a bus instead of trevelling by car, useenegy-saving bulbs, and wear more clothesinstead of turning up the heat. Experts say wemust do something NOW! If sea levels start rising even faster, it will be impossible to stop!
