What Is Climate Change?

Polar Ice - Climate Change

Many of our daily activities contribute to climate change. Using energy in our homes and offices or driving a car generates greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO2). These greenhouse gases act like a blanket, trapping heat near the Earth's surface and warming the planet.
 
If the Earth's warming continues, scientists predict potentially extreme climate changes - causing more frequent and intense heat waves, rising sea levels affecting coastal areas, and other serious impacts.
 
But there is good news: working together, we can make a difference.
