First , greenhouse effect (温室效应）is a very important reason for the change of the earth . People give out too much energy into the air every year . It makes the earth warmer . Climate (气候）change is another important reason . Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold . Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little . The change of the climate makes the earth warmer . In turn , the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.
When the earth becomes warmer , there may be more rain and a rise in sea level . It will affect the growth of plants , animals and people . On a Pacific island , 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising . These people can no longer live on the coast . Before that , two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2010.
