[00:01.33]Serious diseases like malaria will spread
[00:04.61]and natural resource industries
[00:06.92]such as fishing and forestry
[00:08.84]will be negatively affected.
[00:10.86]Increased temperatures
[00:12.29]will also cause the polar ice-caps to melt,
[00:15.41]raising sea levels, and flooding coastal areas.
[00:19.70]How can we stop these diseaters from happening?
[00:24.49]Governments all over the world have a
[00:26.92]responsibility to reduce their country's
[00:29.82]release of greenhouse gases.
[00:32.38]If less carbon dioxide is released
[00:35.03]into the atmosphere,
[00:36.44]global warming will slow down.
[00:39.24]This is no easy task, however,
[00:42.31]and as individuals,
[00:44.01]we need to play our part.
[00:46.10]Experts suggest making small changes
[00:49.26]like taking public transport,
[00:51.73]recycling, using low-flow shower heads,
[00:55.73]and buying energy-efficient light bulbs.
[00:58.76]Even simple things like using recycled paper
[01:03.26]or switching off lights
[01:04.50]when you leave the room can help.
[01:07.29]If we add up all these small changes made
[01:10.70]by everyone worldwide,
[01:13.13]there will be a very significant effect
[01:15.81]on the future of the Earth.
