Video
(7 min) The video is about the hard facts of global warming. It discusses the scientific consensus that climate change is happening and that it is caused by human activities. The video also discusses the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and food shortages. Finally, the video discusses the need for urgent action to address climate change. Here are some key points from the video: Global temperatures have risen by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 19th century. The rate of warming is accelerating. Sea levels are rising. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense. The Arctic is melting at an alarming rate. The oceans are becoming more acidic. Climate change is already having a significant impact on human societies. It is important to be aware of these facts and to take action to address climate change.
