* It’s official. The world’s top scientists now agree that global warming has already started. The United Nations predicts increases in sea level, with floods in some areas, and droughts in others, while hurricanes are becoming more powerful and frequent.
* Average temperatures have gone up 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (almost 1 degree Celsius) since 1880, and according to NASA, this temperature rise has increased in the last few decades.
*Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada and eastern Russia have risen 2 times faster than the global average.

*29 percent of all Carbon dioxide is produced by transport, That´s right, cars, trucks, buses….
*Cattle raising, agricultura and poor waste management contribute to Climate Change.
