Climate Change

Climate change is a critical global issue caused by the rise in greenhouse gases from human activities, leading to global warming and extreme weather patterns. Its impacts include melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and adverse effects on health, agriculture, and economies, particularly in poorer countries. Solutions involve reducing emissions, utilizing renewable energy, and international cooperation through agreements like the Paris Climate Accord.

Climate Change

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. It refers to the
long-term changes in Earth's climate, especially a rise in global temperatures, due to natural
processes and human activities. The main cause of recent climate change is the increase in
greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases trap heat in
the atmosphere, leading to global warming.

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation, and large-
scale industrial farming have significantly contributed to this problem. As a result, glaciers
are melting, sea levels are rising, and weather patterns are becoming more extreme—
causing floods, droughts, wildfires, and stronger hurricanes.

Climate change affects not only the environment but also human health, agriculture, and
economies. Poor and developing countries are often hit the hardest. Solutions include
reducing carbon emissions, using renewable energy sources like solar and wind, conserving
forests, and adopting sustainable lifestyles. International agreements like the Paris Climate
Accord aim to unite countries in this fight.

Everyone—from governments to individuals—must take action to reduce the impact of


climate change and protect the planet for future generations.
