Fact 1: Global warming is the result of increase in the earths average surface temperature

due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These gases are required for the
presence of human life on earth. However, global warming is happening due to over-emittance of
these gases.

Fact 2: Emissions like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other greenhouses gases will
remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. This, making it impossible to eliminate
global warming for several, maybe even thousands of decades, if earth will still be here.

Fact 3: According to IPCC 2007 report, sea levels will rise by 7-23 inches by the end of this
century. Due to global warming, the emissions leaking in the atmosphere are causing the sea and
waterway levels to drastically increase, leaving less land area for species on earth.

Fact 4: Since 1880, the average temperature has risen by 1.4-Fahrenheit degrees. Because of
global warming, the atmosphere has been filled up with pollutants gases causing the weather to
increase in hotter temperatures.

Fact 5: The last two decades of the 20th century have been hottest in the last 400 years,
according to climate studies.

Fact 6: The Arctic is one of the worst places to be affected by global warming. Meaning,
global warming has most affected the arctic regions and the habitats and species in those regions.

Fact 7: According to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled
between 2000 and 2004, the average temperature in Alaska, Western Canada and Russia
have risen at twice the global average.

Fact 8: The Arctic ice is melting rapidly. By 2040 the region is expected to have a completely
ice free summer, or even earlier.

Fact 9: The Montana Glacier National Park has only 25 glaciers instead of 150 that were
there in the year 1910.

Fact 10: Due to global warming and pollution, coral reefs are suffering the worst bleaching
with the highest dying record since 1980.
