Should we worry about Global Warming - and what can we do?

#globalwarming 


Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Many people believe that this is only a myth and that it isn’t really happening. However, we can barely see or feel any change such as in the temperature because there is only a very minor difference. An increase in average temperature of around 1.5 degrees Celsius is all it takes for global warming to occur. By analysing   glacier sizes over time, amount of carbon dioxide in ice sheets, coral reefs and tree rings, scientists can find out a lot about the history of Earth’s climate and what it was like compared to today to get an idea of where Earth is heading towards in the future.
