Global warming is the gradual warming of the earth that has been happening over the past 200 years. It is caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. It is also caused by deforestation, where we cut down great forests all over the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide as they grew.

To fix the problem we have to stop burning fossil fuels. The only way we can do this is if we begin to use renewable energy, solar, wind, geothermal etc. These all produce electricity without any carbon emissions. We can use as much electricity as we want if it is all generated from renewable energy. Enough sunshine falls on the earth in one day to power the whole world for a year!
