Global warming is happening because the greenhouse effect traps the heat from the sun. Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This carbon dioxide has been hidden underground for 300 million years, so the carbon cycle is unable to cope with it all.

We can stop it by moving to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
