The use of fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal and the deforestation of large areas (large-scale deforestation) are the two major factors behind rising levels of “greenhouse gases” in the Earths atmosphere. As these gases retain more and more heat energy (When these gases trap more heat), the eventual results (consequences) will be altered weather patterns, an increase in sea levels and ocean temperatures, and disruptive climate changes that affect the habitats of plants, wildlife and humans (climate changes, rising sea levels and temperatures, and weather that disrupts human, wildlife and plant habitats).Although there is disagreement within the scientific community about the extent of global warming, humans would be playing with fire if we were to ignore the danger it poses (its dangers) (humans would put themselves at great risk if they ignored the danger it signals.) As individuals, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, use less electricity and adopt lifestyles that minimize the use (reduction / degradation) of natural resources (We can cut back on the use of fossil fuels, limit electricity consumption, and live in a way that spares natural resources.). On the government level, most of the worlds industrialized nations have pledged to cut gas emissions under the Kyoto Agreement in 1997. (The government of most industrialized nations are s
