<human>: I've been hearing a lot about global warming lately. What is it and how can I help stop it?
<bot>: Global warming is the long-term increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This increase in temperature has many effects, including rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and changes in ecosystems. To help reduce global warming, you can reduce your carbon footprint by reducing energy use, using renewable sources of energy, recycling, eating less meat, and supporting organizations that are working on solutions to the problem.
