Global warming is the observed long-run, up to century, rise in the average temperature of Earth’s climate system and its related effects. Collective of scientific evidences show that the climate system is warming. With global warming and climate change becoming a real issue, it’s important to know how to help […]

Our planet has seen a rise in global temperatures in the last century. Not only is this impacting the weather patterns that we experience, but it is affecting how quickly ice caps melt and how much rainfall gets delivered to certain geographical areas.
