🌍 climate change is natural? But we are damaging Earth by speeding up this natural process! 💔

90% of scientists agree humans are the cause of unnatural climate change. So, we're sharing global warming FACTS for International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day:
🌡️ Carbon dioxide (CO2) from oil, gas, and coal increases Earth's temperatures.
⛈️ Deadly storms, droughts and wildfires are happening more often because of rising temperatures.
🌊 Floods are increasing because melting glaciers and ice caps raise our sea levels.
💀 Plants and animals are going extinct because they can't live through unnatural environmental and temperature changes.
⚕️ More people are struggling with health issues because our air and water are full of toxic gases.

♻️ But it's not too late; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to help SAVE our planet!
