and methane in the atmosphere. These and other gasses trap the sun’s heat, creating what is known as a greenhouse effect, and in turn global warming. Global warming is just one of many consequences of climate change. Note the rising sea waters, warmer oceans, melting glaciers, intense droughts, and more devastating storms.

Thousands of kids under age 5 die each year due to respiratory infections attributed to fossil fuel pollution.
