What is Climate Change?
Climate Change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of ranging from decades to millions of years.Warm near the equator and cold at the poles, our planet is able to support a variety of living things because of its diverse regional climates. The average of all these regions makes up Earth's global climate. Climate has cooled and warmed throughtout Earth history for various reasons. Rapid warming like we see today is unusual in the history of our planet. The scientific consensus is that climate is warming as a result of the addition of heat-trapping greenhouse gases which are increasing dramatically, in the atmosphere as a result of human activities.
What are the effects of Climate Change today?
Almost 100,000 years ago, people worldwide began burning coal and oil at home. Burning these fuels create carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These added greenhouse gases have caused Earth to warm quickly than in the past.
The sea level is rising, the Arctic sea is melting, glaciers and permafrost are melting, sea-surface temperatures are warming and also the temperatures of large lakes are also warming.
Due to human activities, our planet Earth continues to warm. We can't stop climate change. But there is still hope to save our Mother Earth. Even if we're still students, we can still help by doing the 3 Rs. REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE. I am very glad because after all this years, almost all of the cities and provinces here in the Philippines are not using PLASTICS but PAPER BAGS. A law was passed lately that everyone is require to bring their own bag. That means if you'll go to the grocery store you should bring a bag or else you'll carry many paper bags.
Let's help save Mother Earth for our future generation. I am not the only teen who wants to see the Earth still clean and green. There are also little children who wants to breathe fresh air and wants to see our planet green. Again, let's all help hand in hand in saving our Mother Earth =)
