A) [Burning fossil fuels|Deforestation|Global warming|Greenhouse effect|Melting ice|Water pollution]
Glaciers and icebergs protect our planet. The excessive heat reflected from their surface goes back into space and keeps the planet cooler. However, a lot of them has been disappearing lately because of global warming. This can have a drastic impact on wildlife and cause the rise of sea levels, floods, and severe storms.
B) [Burning fossil fuels|Deforestation|Global warming|Melting ice|Water pollution]
Scientists fear that this process has gone beyond the point of no return. A gradual increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere caused by polluting gases has become one of the most serious problems. It can cause the rise of sea levels with the risk of flooding huge territories of the planet.
C) [Burning fossil fuels|Deforestation|Global warming|Greenhouse effect|Melting ice|Water pollution]
Too much carbon dioxide and other toxic gases in the air are making this process stronger. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil, deforestation, ocean pollution and other harmful processes done by humans make the situation even worse. The scientists are concerned about the climate changes this process causes.
D) [Burning fossil fuels|Deforestation|Global warming|Greenhouse effect|Melting ice|Water pollution]
Another serious environmental problem people should cope with is the contamination of streams, rivers, seas and oceans. They have been continuously polluted by numerous waste, toxic chemicals and radioactive substances, oil and car fuel and other harmful substances. This can make it impossible to consume liquid such necessary for all living organisms.

To prevent this problem we should be aware of the important role the trees play in protecting the environment. They cover about 30% of the world and provide a habitat for animals. 20% of the world's oxygen is produced with their help. They are important components of the ecosystem because they absorb carbon. So, we must stop cutting them down and contribute greatly to their planting.
