Why It Matters.Global warming is something that has been set aside for years, but it is here now, and something needs to be done. This is such a big deal because it not only affects a specific location, but the entire world, and everyone living in it. Whether your climate is getting hotter, or people are moving to where you live because their climate is changing, you are being affected by global warming.

How Urbanization Is Related To Global Warming.Global warming is not the only problem, urbanization is also effecting the earth. The definition of urbanization is "the process of making an area more urban", meaning more people move to an area, overpopulating it. Global warming is related to urbanization because when global warming causes temperature of an area to increase, people move to an area with a better climate. This works the other way also, people moving use their cars, which releases CO2 into the air, causing a rise and temperature.
