What are the effects of climate change?
Changes in Earth's climate are driven by the increase of human emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are already having worldwide effects on the environment. Glaciers and ice plates are shrinking, river and lake ice is breaking up earlier, plant and animal geographic ranges are diminishing, and plants and trees are blooming earlier. Effects that scientists had long anticipated would result due to global climate changes are now occurring, such as decrease in sea ice, increase sea level rise, and longer, more extreme heat waves.
What are solutions for climate change?
- Changing the main energy sources to cleaner and renewable energy is the best way to stop consuming fossil fuels. solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy are great energy sources and can be renewed.
- Switching from petrol vehicles to electric vehicles and decreasing plane travel will help reduce climate change and air pollution.
- The government can keep households warm in a ecofriendly way by insulating walls and roofs and switching from oil or gas boilers to heat pumps.
- Improve farming and encourage vegetarian diets.
- Planta are great at cleaning up carbon emissions since plants photosynthesis need carbon dioxide to grow and locking it away in soils.
- Forests are crucial in the stopping against climate change, and protecting them is an important solution. Cutting down forests on an industrial scale destroys trees which could be sucking huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.
- Oceans take in colossal amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Protecting oceans and the sea creatures in them is a way to stop climate change.
- Plastic is made from oil, and the process of extracting, refining and turning oil into plastic, Â is extremely carbon-intense. Plastic doesn't break down easily in nature so a large amount of plastic is burned, which contributes to carbon emissions.
