CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate
change is a huge problem and it can be caused by various activities.
When
climate change occurs, temperature rises drastically and many different things
occur on Earth, for example floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more
frequent and severe heat waves. Oceans and glaciers have also experienced some
changes, oceans warm up while glaciers melt down. But actually, which is the
cause? Well, we are.
During
the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which are the principal
cause of the climate change. Most of the gases come from burning fossil fuels
to produce energy. Greenhouse gases are like a blanket around the Earth,
trapping energy in to the atmosphere and slowly warming it up.
Sadly
we are reaching a point of no return and in a matter of years it could end up
being catastrophic and even end up in another ice age, which would cause an
almost complete destruction.
Still
we shouldn’t lose hope, there are some things we can do to prevent that (or at
least try) like recycling, not wasting energy, using public transport, taking
care of the forest and even planting trees etc. Small things that if we all did
could end up making a huge impact on our future!
It is
also really important to take the innitiative so more people all over the world
can take part on stopping the climate change.
Lastly
I would like to make an especial mention to Greta Thunberg, a 16 years old
known for being the biggest climate change activist of all time. I hope people
can learn more about the issue while listening to her!
