Many scientists agree that the glaciers around the world could disappear in this century， much faster than we thought.
How does it come? When certain gas such as carbon dioxide(CO₂) is largely put into the air， it causes the greenhouse effect（效应）which makes Earth warmer. So glaciers turned into water quickly， and dark rocks are uncovered. Then these rocks take in more heat， causing the temperature to rise. As a result， the remaining snow on glaciers changes into water faster.
The effects of global warming will be harmful to the Earth. While more water may cover some areas of Earth， in other places， it is making water disappear. An increasing number of heat waves and droughts（干旱）worldwide will also change the face of the world in the future.
Global warming is a real problem， and one largely caused by human activity. Solving the problem is not easy， and there is no single magic way. However， we can begin it by lowering the amount of CO₂ in our daily lives.
Peter Miller and his wife took part in a scientific test to see how much CO₂ they could cut down in a month. The average(平均) U.S. family produces about 80 kilos of CO₂ a day， which is more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average. Their final goal was to make less CO₂ than most American families.
First， they found out how much CO₂ they were producing. Then they asked an expert for advice on how to reduce the producing of CO₂. According to the expert's advice， they replaced their lights and changed some of their living habits. At the same time， they biked， walked or used public transportation. A month later， they saved 70% on electricity， 40% on gas and drove half as much as others. The amount of CO₂ they use in the daily life was less than the U.S. average， at 32 kilos.
We can start with small things:change a light， open a window， walk or bike. With a little effort， and not much money， most of us can help protect our planet.
