What’s the connection between polar bears and power plants, coral reefs and SUVs? Global warming. The use of fossil fuels for lighting our homes, driving our cars, and other activities is contributing to major changes in the Earth’s climate. And that’s causing problems in every part of the world for all living things—including polar bears, coral reefs, migratory birds, plants, and people.

Global warming is a complex issue. But we do have one critical tool needed to tackle it: human ingenuity. What we need now, say the experts, is cooperation from people everywhere, especially those of us in industrialized nations who “feast” the most on fossil fuels.
