climate change:
general climate change
climate change is a long-term change in weather patterns
the main cause of climate change are us humans, with the burning of fossil fuels
the past 100 years have caused the globe to heat up due to the industrial revolution and the invention of cars and planes
the green house effect is when green house gases rise up and create a blanket over the earth that traps all the heat in
solutions and mitigation
renewable energy sources are sources of energy that due not produce green house gases and they are re-useable
they can avoid using their car and cycle to places, they can also start recycling
recycling and reducing waste contributes to clime action by reducing carbon dioxide emissions
governments are trying to combat climate change by introducing recycling schemes such as the return the bottles
impact of climate change
climate change causes these severe weather patterns to occur more frequently and in areas that don't even produce greenhouse gases
the increase in heat can cause forest fires, this can cause animals to be killed or be forced to move out of their natural habitat
the heat causes the soil to become dry and also there is less rain which is bad for agriculture
coastal communities will constantly be hit by wave and houses will be flooded by the high tide
social impact and awareness
climate change causes drouts and famines in third world countries and wealthier countries aren't affected as badly
they can protest about what they feel is damaging the environment, they can also do the little things as an individual such as cycling to school or returning their bottles
raising awareness about climate change is important because it is becoming a big problem that we will not be able to fix. I think that we can spread the message effectively by asking governments and social media influencers to talk about it to their followers
