Fossil fuels Fuels that come from the ground Burning them produces energy to heat our homes, run our cars, and produce energy to run factories Examples- Oil, Gas and Coal
Burn Fossil Fuels Produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2) (Greenhouse gas) Causes Global Warming Melts the Ice Caps
Example of the Greenhouse Effect 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.
What’s the difference between “global warming” and “climate change”?
Difference GLOBAL 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.
