Global warming

What is global warming? Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures are rising. I found a website that provides more information on the climate crisis, and what is happening as we continue to live our lives as if everything is ok.  It also shows how we can all get involve to save our environment and presents a blog about the issue which reminded me of what our professor has asked us to do to become more aware of our environment, and communicate with others about the issue.
