Climate change, global warming, and the greenhouse effect are all interconnected.

The Greenhouse
effect has caused heat to be trapped in our Earth’s atmosphere. The build-up of heat trapped within the
Earth’s atmosphere has produced a domino effect of increasing temperatures caused by greenhouse
gasses and fossil fuel burning which has evidently caused global warming. The build up of greenhouse
gasses which may or may not be human-emitted, has caused climate change resulting in shifting
weather patterns and other detrimental effects of a global scale.

The best thing a student like me can do is speak up. Climate change is not an issue a single individual can
solve; it requires the collective cooperation of a large population in order for the movement to make an
observable difference. Starting practices that reduce my carbon footprint would be a good start, but
doing it with a group of people would create a much more promising effect for our environment. The
fight against climate change requires numbers and the best thing we can do is to spread the
environment-friendly message around.
