Global Warming
Global warming is the increase in the
average temperature of Earth's near-surface air
and oceans since the mid-20th century and its
projected continuation. According to the 2007
Fourth Assessment Report by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), global surface temperature increased
0.74 0.18 C (1.33 0.32 F) during the 20th
century.[2][A] Most of the observed temperature
increase since the middle of the 20th century
was caused by increasing concentrations of
greenhouse gases, which results from
human activity such as the burning of fossil fuel
and deforestation.[3] Global dimming, a result
of increasing concentrations of atmospheric
aerosols that block sunlight from reaching the
surface, has partially countered the effects of
greenhouse gas induced warming.
What Causes Global
Warming?
Scientists have
determined that a number
of human activities are
contributing to global
warming by adding
excessive amounts of
greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere. Greenhouse
gases such as carbon
dioxide accummulate in
the atmosphere and trap
heat that normally would
exit into outer space.
How to Take Action to Reduce Global
Warming

Every day we do things that make some futures more probable and others less
