Global warming is not just about hotter days it is changing the planet’s climate, ecosystems, and communities. Human activities, especially the burning of coal, oil, and gas, have increased greenhouse gases and pushed global temperatures to record levels.

Major Consequences

Melting glaciers and ice sheets threaten freshwater supplies and contribute to rising seas. Warmer oceans and changing rainfall patterns can damage ecosystems, agriculture, and biodiversity. Extreme heat can also put people at greater risk, especially during prolonged heatwaves.

The Danger

Every fraction of a degree matters. Delaying action can make climate impacts more severe and harder to manage. Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, saving energy, protecting forests, and expanding clean energy can help limit future warming.

ACT NOW: Reduce emissions • Save energy • Protect forests • Support clean energy • Protect our planet.
