 Essay
«What is the climate change? »
Climate change is the global phenomenon of climate transformation characterized by
the changes in the usual climate of the planet (regarding temperature, precipitation,
and wind) that are especially caused by human activities. 
Now, our climate is very changing, some countries suffer from abnormal heat, others
from too harsh and snowy winters, unusual for these places.
Environmentalists talk about global climate change, including an increase in average
annual temperature, causing glaciers to melt, and rising sea levels. What is global
warming?
Firstly, these are natural disasters.
Secondly, the extinction of many species of plants and animals.
Thirdly, the lack of drinking water, epidemics, hunger.
People are unlikely to be able to stop global warming, but we can stop the rapid
course of events. To do this, it is necessary to limit greenhouse gas emissions, develop
alternative energy and develop a strategy to reduce risks due to warming.
