forms of life within a given planet or species. The number of plants’ species, microorganisms, the great diversity of species’ genes, animals, the various planets’ ecosystem such as deserts and coral reefs forms part of biodiversity on earth.

patterns on a global scale. As we move into the future, many climatologists expect that most of the United States will warm.

The Facts—What Do We Already Know About Changing Global Conditions

7%, hydroelectric- 6.5%, petroleum- 3%, and renewables- 2.3%. Coal is mined in the United States and coal accounts for 50% of the electricity we use.
