Yes, we do.

Scientists say we are at a turning point with global warming. They think that if we take action now, we can slow it down. But if we don’t, it will soon be too late. Almost all scientists agree that it’s a big problem and that the wise thing to do is to take action—right now.

If we act now, can we really solve it?

The important thing to remember is that humans have caused this problem, so humans should be able to fix it. You’re hearing a lot about global warming right now because lots of people are concerned about it. And many are working hard to find solutions.

Some people are trying to convince governments to pass laws that will reduce how much carbon dioxide is released. Some are putting up wind turbines and solar panels to get energy in ways that don’t pollute. Others are inventing new technologies that will reduce carbon dioxide, such as cars that burn less fuel or don’t run on fossil fuels at all.

There’s no single easy solution to global warming. But there are lots of different ways to tackle the problem. People have solved big problems before, and we can solve this one—with everyone’s help.
