there will be more storms and they will be more severe. There will also be more heat waves, more
droughts, more rain-and therefore more floods, and more hurricanes. More everything
When we bum fossil fuels (coal, oit and gas), we send carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse
gases” into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases absorb and reflect heat from the Earth’s
surface. If we go on producing them. Temperatures will go up several degrees. 6)As a result the
ice and snow at the North and South Poles will melt and sea levels will rise, The sea will become
more “acid” because CO? Is acidic. These changes will affect our eco-systems and our economies.
They will also affect our water. our food, and even our health.
