Global warming and climate
change
• The climate is changing.
• With global warming on the increase and
species and their habitats on the decrease.
• For many years, large, influential businesses
and governments have been against the idea of
global warming. Many have poured a lot of
resources into discrediting what has generally
been accepted for a long time as real.

• Environmental issues are also a major
global issue. Humans depend on a
sustainable and healthy environment,
and yet we have damaged the
