Global warming is due to various causes, such as pollution from factories, excessive burning of fossil fuels and methane emissions from animals. The growing global market has led to increased pollution from factories. Increased international traveling and transportation of goods also contribute to greater carbon dioxide emission from the burning of gasoline.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States monitors the condition of the atmosphere and the oceans.
To help stop global warming, we should reduce, reuse and recycle. Planting trees, carpooling and buying local produce are other simple ways to reduce global warming.
Everyone can help in the international effort to reduce global warming.
