Many scientists think that pollution is changing earth's climate. They think the change is coming from gases in the air called greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide and other gases trap heat from the Sun. They trap heat the way glass walls and ceilings in greenhouses trap heat. It stays warm inside a greenhouse even when it is cold outside. Greenhouse gases in the air make Ealih warm enough for life. But scientists think that people are putting too much carbon dioxide and other green house gases into the air. This extra greenhouse gases come from burning coal and oil in factories and power plants. They come from burning gasoline in cars. Too much of them will make the Earth warmer. This warming could cause disastrous changes on the planet.

The results of climate change are Sidr, Nargis, draught, flood, acid rain, deforestation, infertility of soil and various diseases of animals and plants etc.

How can we stop pollution: Chemicals that cause pollution are not easy to get rid of. They stay in the air and ground and water for a long time. The best way to fight pollution is to stop producing it in the first place. Governments can pass laws that forbid or limit the use of chemicals that cause pollution. Laws can stop factories from dumping poisonous chemicals in lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Factories and power plants can clean up the smoke that they give off. Engineers can build cars that burn less gasoline. They can find ways for cars to give off cleaner exhaust gases. The use the power in wind and in rays from the Sun. Reducing the amount of garbage we made daily. Recycling of paper, plastic, glass bottles, and metal cans.
