Climate change is an issue that affects everyone, everywhere. It’s caused by human activity, which includes burning fossil fuels for energy, driving cars, and using other forms of transportation. This has led to increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat near Earth’s surface. As a result, temperatures rise, causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. These changes affect ecosystems around the world.   The Causes of Climate Change   There are two main causes of climate change. First, humans are responsible for releasing large amounts of carbon into the air through the use of fossil fuels. Second, natural processes cause the release of carbon into the air as well.   Effects of Climate Change   Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the gases released by human activity. It is also known as a greenhouse gas because it traps heat within the atmosphere. This trapping of heat leads to rising temperatures. As temperatures rise, glaciers melt, sea levels rise, and ocean currents shift. These changes affect ecosystems and wildlife.   Solutions to Climate Change   There are several solutions to climate change. One solution is to reduce our carbon emissions. Another solution is to use renewable energy sources such as solar power. We should also consider how we can adapt to these changes.   Conclusion   As you can see, there are many ways to help combat climate change. It’s up to us to decide what actions we will take to protect our planet.
