WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING???

The Earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to the effects of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. This carbon stays in the atmosphere, acts like a warm blanket, and holds in the heat — hence the name ‘global warming.’The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a very narrow range - this creates the conditions that give us breathable air, clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. Human beings have begun to tip that balance. We've overloaded the atmosphere with heat-trapping gasses from our cars and factories and power plants. If we don't start fixing the problem now, we’re in for devastating changes to our environment. We will experience extreme temperatures, rises in sea levels, and storms of unimaginable destructive fury. Recently, alarming events that are consistent with scientific predictions about the effects of climate change have become more and more commonplace.

We’re already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitat, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.

*The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.2
*Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.3
*The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.4
*At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.

IF the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.

*Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.
*Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.
*Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
*Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.
*The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.
*More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.
There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to solve this problem is now – TAKE ACTION
