    Climate change refers to increasing changes in environmental measures like temperature over long periods of time. Human activity, especially burning fossil fuels which produce greenhouse gases, is the main driver of climate change. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels which could submerge coastal cities, melting Antarctic ice packs harming wildlife, more common wildfires from higher global temperatures, as well as droughts and changing ecosystems. To mitigate climate change, increased use of renewable and limited energy sources like solar can reduce greenhouse gases and global temperatures, along with more recycling.

    What is climate change?

    • Climate change refers to the


    increasing changes in the
    measures of the environment
    over a long period of time
    (increased temperature
    levels)
    Affects
    Human activity is the main cause of climate
    change.

    People burn fossil fuels that produces


    carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas →
    harmful to the environment .

    Pollution

    Energy use
    Consequences

    ● Sea levels rising → in the future coastal cities will disappear.


    ● Antarctic ice packs melting→ animals that live there are affected .
    ● Animals become extinct.
    ● Increased level of global temperature → fires happen more commonly.
    ● Droughts
    ● Changing ecosystems→ growing zones are threatened → plants disappearing
    How to “stop” climate change

    • Through the use of renewable


    sources of energy → reduction of
    the increased temperature

    • Limited sources like solar=no green


    house gases

    • Recycling
