Climate change is changing our economy, health and communities in diverse ways.
Carbon dioxide and other global warming pollutants are collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased.
In addition to impacting our water resources, energy supply, transportation, agriculture, and ecosystems. also increases in the risk of illness and death related to extreme heat waves. Some diseases transmitted by food, water, and insects are likely to increase.
Certain groups, including children, the elderly, and the poor, are most vulnerable to a range of climate-related health effects.

Step 1:Set limits on global warming pollution
The most significant step we can take to reduce carbon pollution is to set limits on the major sources such as cars and power plants. we will have cleaner air and a safer environment, which benefits our health, quality of life and economy. save tens of thousands of lives each year and hundreds of thousands hospital visits.

Step 2:Invest in green jobs and clean energy
Investing in clean energy industries, such as wind and solar, as well as energy efficiency programs. Manufacturing solar panels. Studies show that investing in clean energy technologies would produce more jobs than similar investments in oil and gas. Investments in clean energy will also help end oil addiction.

Step 3:Drive smarter cars
Breaking our oil addiction and retooling plants to manufacture the fuel-efficient cars that consumers are demanding, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
Save on gas. High-mileage cars use less gas. carmakers meet the demand for fuel-efficient cars. If we make our cars more efficient over the next ten years, we'll cut global warming pollution by more than 350 million metric tons and save 2 million barrels of oil a day.
