Global Warming. What first comes into your mind when that word is mentioned? Did you know that severe weather happens more frequently because of Climate Change? Did you know that extremely hot temperatures are already considered a ‘New Normal’? 

Did you know that over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution every year? Flooding, coral bleaching, all caused by humans. Most of us might already know this while some of us don’t. To the ones that already know this, I want to direct a question at us. Why aren’t we doing anything?

To start it off, we would have to know what we’re trying to stop. The Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming, and Climate Change. Three major problems that our home is facing right now but also the least we care about.

POLLUTION

We can say that it all started with Pollution. Our core problem that humans barely acknowledge. Pollution is a human act that is too normalized. Pollution can cause global warming, rising sea levels, or climate change that can result in bigger problems like the extinction of certain species of animals, and maybe eventually humans

Environmental pollution is when a substance is inserted or gets inserted into a living organism. These chemicals and or substances are called pollutants. 

There are, of course, certain key points for a substance to be able to be identified as a pollutant. Not every random substance or chemical is a pollutant

When can a substance be called a pollutant?

  1. Amount of substance that exceeds the normal limit
  2. Being there at the wrong time
  3. Being where they shouldn’t be

Environmental Pollution can be caused by human activities or even natural factors. They can disrupt the organism’s peace and balance, disturb its growth and many more.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change, one of the many effects of pollution. We’ll be looking into what it is, how it happened and its effects.

Climate Change is caused by many factors, most of them being human actions. Some causes being the increased use of fossil fuels, deforestation. Climate Change is caused by The Greenhouse Effect. The Greenhouse Gases released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels would result in this.

The effects of Climate Change can be endless. Increased heat, insect outbreaks, increased wildfires, health impacts due to the heat, flooding, endangered species in coastal areas and dozens more.
