What is climate change?

The main cause of Climate change is human activities world temperatures are rising, with more intense heatwaves and rising sea-levels among the consequences.

Climate change is the long-term shift in the Earth's average temperatures and weather condition
Over the last decade, the world was on average around 1.2C warmer than during the late 19th Century.

Things are likely to worsen in the coming decades, but scientists argue urgent action can limit the worst effects of climate change

it has now confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record, driven by human-caused climate change. The last nine years were all among the nine warmest years on record.

Although there are hundreds of reason for the climatic change we are only going to discuss the natural and manmade (human) reasons.

What are the effects of climate change so far?

A global average temperature increase of 1.2C might not sound much.

However, it has already had a huge effect on the environment, including:

• more frequent and intense extreme weather, such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall

• rapid melting of glaciers and ice sheets, contributing to sea-level rise

• huge declines in Arctic sea-ice

• ocean warming

What can individuals do?

Major changes need to come from governments and businesses, but individuals can also help:

1. take fewer flights
2. use less energy
3. improve home insulation and energy efficiency
4. switch to electric vehicles or live car-free
5. replace gas central heating with electric systems like heat pumps
6. eat less red meat

humans mistake has caused great damage to the climate and ecosystem. But, it is not late to start again and try to undo what we have done until now to damage the environment.

And if every human start contributing to the environment then we can be sure of our existence in the future
