Slow Global Warming

• Global Warming Facts

• Average temperatures have increased 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880.
• The last two decades of the 20th century were the warmest in 400 years.
• Average temperatures in Alaska, Canada, and Russia have risen at twice the global average.
• Polar and indigenous creatures have begun to suffer from the sea/ice loss.
• An increase in extreme weather conditions (wildfires, floods, heat waves) is attributed to global warming.

• Global Warming Causes

• We are dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere faster than plants can absorb it.
• Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have increased greenhouse gases stuck in our atmosphere.
• Gases stay in the atmosphere for some time, even if we stopped pollution today, the effects would continue for many years.
• Simple steps can be taken in all homes to lessen the admission of harmful gases into the atmosphere, but drastic changes still need to occur.

Read. Learn. Act.
