Evidence
The Sun uses its rays to warm our planet but not all of them can make it through our atmosphere, when the Earth heats up it produces infrared rays (rays of heat radiated from Earth). Infrared rays
that don't leave our atmosphere "are absorbed by greenhouse gases". Greenhouses gases also heat the Earth, but we are producing too many of these gases therefore warming our planet even more.
Impacts
Many scientists are predicting changes in our climate such as an increase in sea levels and precipitation and naturally, flooding. This may also affect our health with milder winters meaning less "cold-related deaths", on the other hand, bacteria would no longer "die-off seasonally" giving illness the chance to spread more widely. More heatwaves also equals more skin cancer.
Adaptation
Though some scientists say it is too late to stop global warming there is no reason for us not to try, especially with the wide range of alternatives which are available such as energy saving light bulbs and solar panels. A change of habits is also required to make a difference.
