SHORT ANSWER

1. According to the article, the major cause of global warming is the increasing use of Greenhouse Gases, which keep the suns heat in the earth, like a greenhouse.
2. According to the article, global warming can cause more frequent storms, because a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor.
3. Yes. I've always been aware of it and thought it was an important problem, and even as a little kid I was shocked that despite all the information about it we have, people still continue to view it as a problem that won't affect us.
4. As a society, we can do many things to stop or at least slow down global warming, like carpooling, or not using cars at all, using electric cars instead, and by consuming less energy as a whole.
5. Yes, I think global warming is one of the most important issues we'll face in our lifetimes. It not only affects every human, but it also affects every animal, plant, or any other forms of life on earth. We're already seeing polar bears starting to die off due to lack of land because of the melting ice caps. In our lifetime the water levels will rise slowly, and people won't realize that it's a real problem until it's too late.
