The Difference

GLOBAL WARMING is the increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

CLIMATE CHANGE is a broader term that refers to long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and precipitation.

Simple Things To Do

Turn off your computer or TV when you’re not using it.

Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades or curtains.

Use compact fluorescent bulbs.


The Science of Climate Change(the last 100 years) tell us that the Earth’s surface is warming along with rising levels of greenhouse gases from human activities, and that this warming
