Ø  Average sea level is expected to rise 1 - 6 feet before the end of this century



Ø  In 1910 Glacier National Park was home to more an estimated 150 glaciers. That number has now shrunk to 25 as of December 2016. This national park is expected to eventually lose all its glaciers. This is only one example of glacial melt that is occurring all over the world. 



Ø  The current pace of global average temperature rise puts approximately 25 to 35 percent of plant and animal species at increased risk of extinction.

                       


Ø  Rain forest destruction contributes to climate change. That's because trees store carbon dioxide as they grow. Clearing and burning forests releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
             



Ø  The world’s coral reefs are in the midst of a global mass die off. As of 2015, coral bleaching is impacted 40% of the world's coral reefs, killing over 4,630 square miles of reefs

 

Ø  Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and warm the planet  


Ø  The greenhouse effect is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Without greenhouse gases, the temperature on Earth would be too cold to support life. With too many greenhouse gases, it would heat up beyond survivable levels.
