Many problems could result from climate change. One of the biggest is
rising sea levels. This could result in the flooding of low lying coastal areas such

in weather patterns. Many areas of the world are experiencing increased

gas to renewable energy sources like solar power. A second solution is to plant
more trees. Trees absorb C02 and produce oxygen, which is not a greenhouse
gas. A third idea is to follow the three “r’s”: reduce, reuse, and recycle more
products. If we act in these environmentally friendly ways, the earth’s
temperature may not rise as much.
