It is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and farming. Tim : There are also ways to slow down global warming like recycling, biking or walking, and most importantly move away from fossil fuels and use renewable energy. Moby : Beep, beep, beep! Moby made the Arctic like it is in winter. Tim : Moby! Don’t you know it is much colder in the Arctic at winter times!? I think I have to get double layers of coats! Moby : Beep!
