There are a number of factors that cause global warming, for example climate change, melting glaciers and rising sea levels are all consequences of global warming. Climate change can occur over a number of years, so if there is a large increase in the number of hot summers, this is most likely a sign of climate change. If a pattern keeps occurring it may start to impact on other places in the world. The scientific concepts that are related to global warming are that the increase of global temperature have cause a number of other changes around the world.

The last way I believe that Australia can cut down on their impact on global warming is but stopping the amount of coal exports that are carried out.
