We have global warming because of deforestation and fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

When we discovered coal, and how powerful it was in driving steam engines, we were delighted. This was 300 years ago, and we didn't realise then that the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning coal would be too much for the carbon cycle to remove.

We didn't realise that by cutting down the forests all over the world this would mean that more carbon dioxide would be left in the atmosphere.

We didn't understand then, about the greenhouse effect, and that greenhouse gases building up in the air capture more and more of the sun's heat.

Now we understand, but governments and people won't make the hard decisions to save our children and grandchildren from a hot and dangerous future!

(The hard decisions are, of course, to change from fossil fuel to renewable energy, and to replant thousands of forests!)
