What is global warming?
This phenomenon caused by rising global temperatures threatens Arctic wildlife by reducing their habitats.
What is glaciers and polar ice melting?
The large scale removal of forests, which reduces the planet’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
What is deforestation?

What is Climate?
This consequence of global warming could submerge coastal cities and islands worldwide.
What is sea levels rising?
The process of releasing heat which traps in heat in the atmosphere leading to a rise in global temperatures.
What is Fossil Fuel Combustion?

What is extreme weather?
A significant amount of the world’s freshwater supply is stored in these structures, which are shrinking due to global warming.
What are glaciers?
The chemical which has a strong correlation with increase in global temperatures. Human activities are mostly responsible for the increase of this chemical.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
