I've been hearing a lot of news lately about global warming. What is it all about?

Global warming is the long-term increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial farming. This has caused an increase in the amount of heat-trapping gases in our atmosphere, which are trapping more and more of the sun's energy. This extra energy is being absorbed by the ocean, causing sea levels to rise and temperatures to increase. These changes can have serious consequences for the environment and human populations around the world.
