The most respected scientific organizations
have stated that global warming is happening and
people are causing it by burning fossil fuels and
cutting down forests.
Global warming, on the other hand is the
increase in the earth’s average temperature due to
the buildup of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere from human activities.
