Pollution and Global Warming
Global warming refers to the increase in the temperature of the Earth’s near surface air and oceans. Research has shown that global warming is caused by the build-up of harmful greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Severe consequences of global warming include retreating glaciers, rising sea levels, and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.
The Formation of Smog

Smog results from large amounts of coal burning in an area caused by a mixture of smoke and sulfur dioxide. Modern smog does not usually come from coal but from vehicular and industrial emissions that are acted on in the atmosphere by sunlight to form secondary pollutants that also combine with the primary emissions to form photochemical smog.

Melting Ice & Global Warming

Nobel Prize laureate and climate advocate Al Gore said prompt action is necessary in order to prevent the potentially irreversible melting ice. According to Gore, ice reflects 90 percent of the sun’s radiation back into the atmosphere. If the ice were to melt, the dark water would not reflect the heat but instead absorb it, thereby accentuating the effect of global warming.

Together we can help eliminate pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emission, reduce carbon offset and improve climate change.
