Every year, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface gets a little bit warmer. This

something to be very concerned about.
Scientists are worried that continued warmer temperatures could damage the environment in

change. There might be more droughts or serious storms with flooding. In some areas, human
diseases could spread.

 What’s causing global warming? Humans are mostly to blame. Pollutants from factories and
cars add toxic gases to air. These gases rise to the Earth’s atmosphere. As the sun’s rays warm the
Earth, the gases work much like the glass in a greenhouse. They help trap the heat in the
atmosphere and make the Earth grow warmer. That is why they are nicknamed “greenhouse gases”.
It is our responsibilities to take care of our planet. Global warming is a serious problem with
serious consequences. If we want future generations to enjoy their time on Earth, we must act now!

___________.

A. a colored house B. a type of gas C. the Earth D. a glass building
