What is global warming?

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's oceans and atmosphere. 

Global warming and climate change have the same main cause, the massive emission of different greenhouse gases, known as the greenhouse effect. 

The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that occurs when certain gases in the earth's atmosphere retain heat. These gases allow light to pass through but retain heat.

What is climate change?

Imagen
 Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns. These changes may be natural, but human activities have accelerated the process of climate change through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. The burning of fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions, which act like a blanket around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising temperatures.  Examples of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change include carbon dioxide and methane.

Climate change causes

Imagen
*The generation of electricity and heat by fossil fuels causes a large amount of global emissions (industries and factories). *Cutting down forests limits nature's ability to keep these emissions out of the atmosphere. *The excessive use of transportation. *Production and distribution of packaged foods.
