I've been hearing a lot about global warming lately. What is it and how can I help stop it?

Global warming is the long-term increase in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial agriculture. It has caused rising sea levels, melting glaciers, extreme weather events, and changes in ocean chemistry that threaten marine life and coastal communities. To help stop global warming, we need to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases, switch to renewable energy sources, protect and restore forests, and manage agricultural practices to reduce emissions and sequester carbon dioxide.
