A gradual increase in average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate ().

The problem is that many wildlife habitats and natures lands are being destroyed at an alarming rate. As a reader, you may be asking what the reason for this issue is.

In my opinion, a better alternative would be to carpool and/or use electric/hybrid vehicles.
