In the world that we live in, there are a ton of big problems, many moral, many that affect us, but there is one we really need to be careful of: climate change
Pretty much everyone has heard of climate change; there are always many news or articles that always say:
“Climate change is the reason for this forest fire!”
“Nuclear plants contribute to climate change.”
“Climate change has caused these glaciers to start melting.”
And I’m not going to lie to you, all of these claims are mostly true.
Climate change are long-term shifts in weather and temperature. Ever since the 1800s, humans have been the main cause for climate change. This is mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil. Another cause of climate change is agriculture.
These practices release gasses like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), which are greenhouse effect gasses, and when they reach the Earth’s atmosphere they trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere for longer than it’s supposed to. This makes the Earth hotter, making many problems arrive.
Here’s a list of things that Climate Change does to our planet.
Due to the trapping of greenhouse effect gasses in the Earth’s atmosphere, temperatures have been in an all-time rise. This creates problems such as the loss of different species’ habitats, which make many more animals be endangered, and intense droughts that damage many populations.
The rise of sea level is caused by the melting of glaciers. When they melt, their ice (now transformed into water) merges into the ocean, and with the high quantity of melting that happens, sea level rises. This can make floods and big storms occur.
These problems are serious and really damaging to our environment, if we don’t do anything, the Earth might become unhabitable in the next centuries.
But now, you may be wondering: “How do we stop climate change?,” so let’s see some solutions to this problem.
We have seen some effects of climate change, and they are pretty bad for our planet, but don’t worry, if we act fast, we will be able to fix it if we take actions quickly. Now, we will see some solutions to it.
Companies with poor management are the main reason behind climate change. These companies are managed by people who don’y care about the planet, rather about money. If more strict laws are made, then those business can’t act in the reckless way they do, forcing the company to act in ways better for the environment.
There can be more climate change if we
