How Global Warming Works
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield.
This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the inside of the car to warm up.
Example of the Greenhouse Effect

What’s the difference between “global warming” and
“climate change”?
![Page 6: What is global warming? How Global Warming Works Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 )](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033100/56649c745503460f94927860/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DifferenceGLOBAL WARMING
is the increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
CLIMATE CHANGE is a broader term that
refers to long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and precipitation.

Simple Things To Do
Turn off your computer or the TV when you’re not using it.
Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.
Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or curtains.
Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

Simple Things To Do
Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning up
the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning up the heat.
Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on
your AC and furnace clean.
Walk short distances instead of asking for a ride in the car.
Plant a tree. Recycle.
