CLIMATE CHANGE

Nowadays climate change is the biggest problem of the human being. It is already
happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats
facing the planet.
The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from
observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting
of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level.
The climate can affect every person and our health directly through increases in
temperature. Such increases may lead to more extreme heat waves during the summer
while producing less extreme cold spells during the winter. Particular segments of the
population such as those with heart problems, asthma, the elderly, and the very young can
be especially vulnerable to extreme heat. There can be extreme floods and droughts,
hurricanes.
Nowadays there are so many factories that exhale really destructive substances and
pollute the air. We all know very well that air is something we cant live without. When we
breathe the polluted air, we can get seriously ill. We cannot escape from the polluted air-its
everywhere, even in our homes and we are breathing it non-stop. This can cause cancer
and other serious diseases.
Another huge problem is that the sea levels are rising worldwide. Also the expansion

However, these are not the only problems.

Another issue are the greenhouse gasses. They are gasses which trap heat in the
atmosphere. Some greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide occur naturally by natural
processes and other are created and emitted solely through human activities. For example
carbon dioxide is entering the atmosphere because of human activities like burning of fossil
fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal). All vehicles exhale too much damaging substances. People
have been trying to reduce them but the problem is still topical and I think we have to do
something like ride a bike not a car to work or school, we should take the shortest route

possible, and plan our drive so that we will not backtrack or travel out of our way.We also
may choose a clean-burning fuel, which reduces ozone-forming pollutants and buy a car
that produces fewer emissions or runs using an alternative fuel.The taxes of cars should be
higher and most of the people will prefer to use the public transport and we will no longer
have traffic jams and we will reduce the damaging emissions.
As a conclusion, the climate is a very important thing and if we dont stop the
changes soon, more and more plants and trees are going to die, we wont have enough food
and then not only will the third world countries suffer from hunger but so will the whole
world. I think it is better to first stop the changes in climate and then gradually reduce the
hunger in the poor countries. Because if we stop the changes, we are going to be healthier
and everything around us will be cleaner and it will be how it actually should be. I believe
harmony between nature and human beings will return.
