What's globał warming? Global warming is the rise in temperature of the earth's atmosphere.
How are extra greenhouse gases produced?
Burning coal and petrol, known as 'fossil fuels' ,cutting down of rainforests and other forests, animal waste which lets off methane.
So what could happen? If Earth gets hotter, some of the import_ant changes could happen:
Water ocean would rise and big cities would be overflow.
Places that usually get lots of rain and snowfall might get hotter and drier.
Lakes and rivers could dry.
Some plants and animals might die because of the heat.
Hurricanes, tornadoes and other storms which are caused by changes in heat and water evaporation may get more common. As we know it's very destroying and more than half humanity will die!!
