CLIMATE CHANGE, A GLOBAL DUTY

CLIMATE CHANGE

What is climate change?

Climate change is a long-term continuous change (increase or decrease) to average weather conditions (e.g. average temperature) OR the range of weather (e.g. more frequent and severe extreme storms). Both can also happen simultaneously. Long-term means at least many decades.

 Climate change is slow and gradual, and unlike year-to-year variability, is very difficult to perceive without scientific records.

Climate change occurs because of changes to Earth’s environment, like changes in its orbit around the sun or human modification of the atmosphere. The current concern stems from the rate of change – how quickly changes are happening. Scientists have found that the current rate of temperature increase is higher than any previously seen in the last 800,000 years. Evidence strongly indicates that human-driven changes in the atmosphere are contributing to the unprecedented rate of temperature increase. (www.miseagrant.umich.edu/climate)

PROPOSED CORRECTIONS

1.      Avoid all sort of environmental pollution

2.      Avoid deforestation

3.      Invest in Tree planting

4.      Stop biodiversity destruction

5.      Get involved in conservation

REMEMBER, WE HAVE ONE PLANET, THERE IS NO PLANET B,

WHAT EVER GOES WRONG HERE AFFECTS EVERY LIVING SOUL. EITHER RICH OR POOR, NO ESCAPE.
