1 Climate change

What is climate change?

Climate change describes as a change in the average conditions — such as temperature and
rainfall — in a region over a long period of time.
Some effects of climate change are:

• Rising sea levels

• Shrinking mountain glaciers
• Ice melting at a faster rate than usual in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic
• Changes in flower and plant blooming times.
Earth’s climate has constantly been changing — even long before humans came into the
picture. However, scientists have observed unusual changes recently. From the studies, Earth’s
average temperature has been increasing much more quickly than they would expect over the
past 150 years. For example, 20,000 years ago, much of the United States was covered in
glaciers and the United States today, we have a warmer climate and fewer glaciers.
One of the main cause of climate change now a days is by human activities which leads to
green house effect In greenhouse effect, heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases such as
carbon dioxide and Sulphur dioxide etc. Which cause in increase in temperature Human
activities — such as burning fuel to power factories, cars and buses , are changing the natural
greenhouse gases. Most of these gases are produced by the industries. some of the industries
are

• Which convert raw material to secondary goods

• petroleum industries Etc.
To over come this many nations around the world joining the fight against climate change but It
is important to remember that, equally vital contributions of government and the citizens can
make it possible One of our main goal is to reduce the amount od carbon dioxide as it is the
worst enemy of climate We can help to reduce climate change while also saving money.
There are a some easy and effective ways by which each one of us can make a difference:

• By Speaking up! , Encouraging people on this

• Power our home with renewable energy.
• Weatherize
• Invest in energy-efficient appliances.
• Reduce water waste. Etc
