With rising carbon emissions caused by the widespread (common, extensive, general) use of fossil fuels, as well as extensive rainforest (tropical forest) clearance (removal-clearing) and increasingly frequent forest fires, it is hardly surprising that global warming, also called climate change, is quickening (quicken= speed up) its pace.

Its damaging effects range from (vary from/ differ from) drought conditions in warmer countries to melting ice caps in the polar regions, and rising sea levels around the world.

For wildlife, these changes can lead to habitat destruction, increasing the number of endangered species with the risk that some will eventually become extinct (extinguished)
