Look through the newspaper any Sunday and you'll see signs that the results of global warming are getting worse: ocean levels are rising and creeping up on coastal cities, coral reefs are perishing, and hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming more severe.
Climate change is caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide.
That is, carbon dioxide emitted by human beings that normally would not have existed.
It's amplifying the harmful results of global warming and endangering the lives of many people across the world.
Droughts, storms, and record high temperatures are all being recorded and are the direct effect of climate change.
Right now, we are on track to emitting more carbon dioxide than ever before.
And as we do so, these severe weather patterns will only get worse.
Luckily, there are solutions.
Simple steps, like switching to SSL or CFL lights, using ENERGY STAR appliances in your home, and driving less (you can even run your car on water) lessen your carbon footprint and reduce your impact on global warming.
Other steps, like reducing your flying, paper use, and consumption of goods (it takes a lot of energy to make, ship, and use all that "stuff!") lessen the effects of climate change.
We all contribute to global warming so it's necessary that we all become part of the solution.
Take action today and stop the dangerous results of global warming.
All responsible citizens who care about their futures, their planet, and their children's futures can act today.
Using less energy not only benefits the planet, but it saves you money and lessens our independence on foreign oil.
