What is climate?
200
Carbon dioxide is the most abundant of these types of gases.
What is a greenhouse gas?
300
This is released, or bursts out, of arctic ice when it melts.
What is methane?
300
Reducing the amount of greenhouse gas pollution we release can do this.
What is lower the risk of much greater warming and severe consequences?

What is 20 inches?
500
As global temperatures rise, areas in the Arctic could release even more greenhouse gas because the frozen ground contains this, and when the ground thaws, this would be released.
What are greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide?
500
Carbon dioxide is an ingredient for plants to perform this.
What is photosynthesis?
500
The world could warm even faster as the polar ice caps melt because the lack of ice allows Earth to do this which leads to even more warming.
What is absorb more energy?
500
Warmer temperatures increase the amount of this in the atmosphere. Because it is a greenhouse gas this leads to even further warming.
