The Inconvenient Facts Scientists say that if we continue to bum fossil fuels in the way we do now, then in the future. there will be more storms and they will be more severe. There will also be more heat waves, more droughts, more rain-and therefore more floods, and more hurricanes. More everything When we bum fossil fuels (coal, oit and gas), we send carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases absorb and reflect heat from the Earth’s surface. If we go on producing them. Temperatures will go up several degrees. 6)As a result the ice and snow at the North and South Poles will melt and sea levels will rise, The sea will become more “acid” because CO? Is acidic. These changes will affect our eco-systems and our economies. They will also affect our water. our food, and even our health.

If the temperature goes up, there will be more mosquitoes. 2. The oceans / get I warmer / a lot of fish / not survive. If the oceans get warmer, a lot of fish will not survive. 3. A lot of fish die / if / that happen. A lot of fish will die if that happens.. 4. We / act now I climate change / not be / so bad.

If we act now, climate change won't be so bad 5. A lot of people / die / if / climate change / continue. A lot of people will die if climate change continues.
