Recent climate changes, also known as global warming, indicate that average increases in temperature around the world are happening because of the carbon dioxide that's increasingly emitted into the atmosphere. No matter where you live, climate change is going to affect you directly. Therefore, it should concern you no matter who you are. Because there are potentially dire consequences as a result of climate change, we need to begin to discuss this problem and take action now before it's too late, and so that others can follow our example. These changes have to be made now so that future and even more catastrophic changes don't happen.
The research does show that heat is being trapped in the atmosphere. Industrial processes, vehicles, and deforestation are producing extra heat, which is increasing average temperatures. Future models project that the planet is over-heating and our environments will be adversely affected in a few years by climate change. Climate change is happening now, but it can be controlled by simple tasks.
What is affected by climate change? Everything; plants and flowers will grow at different rates, and so will not survive the new climates they've been given. Plants, animals, population sizes of all species will shift and change as a result of these climate changes, all of them disruptive and some of them disastrous. Glaciers are already melting and are raising ocean levels, and will continue to make changes in weather patterns. The activity of the human race has caused this increase in temperature, and only our actions can return the rate of change to normal levels.
Eventually, animal and plant species will decrease and many will become extinct. Many think that this will not affect humans, but they do not look at the big picture. The big picture is that all living things are linked together. The food chain will be altered and many species will become destroyed. Climate changes are destroying animal eating habits and changing the growth of the food that we eat.
For those who are members of future generations, intense weather patterns will continue to manifest, increasing death tolls. Economies too, will be negatively impacted because of climate change. Groceries, including things like wheat and coffee, will be much harder to get because intense storms may destroy growing wheat fields or coffee fields, for example. Besides economic failure, though, death tolls in general will also increase because of weather patterns directly, including deaths directly from intense tsunamis, storms and hurricanes.
Where does all of this extra carbon dioxide come from? It comes from industrial pollution and from carbon dioxide emissions from cars. Restrictions are beginning to be put in place such that this type of carbon dioxide emission is minimized. We can decrease these climate changes through carbon dioxide over exposure if cars and industries themselves reduce emissions by 3% year.
Everyone can help contribute to slow down global warming. Some simple household tasks that can help decrease climate change are recycling, planting a tree, weatherizing your home, and replacing old appliances. Some other tasks include eliminating plastic, buying a fuel-efficient car, and car-pooling to work or school. Younger generations need to be educated about how humans negatively impact their environments and need to be directed on what changes to make for future generations.
At present, climate changes are already evident and will continue to drastically and negatively affect the future if something isn't done. We can make changes now that will positively impact our future if we pay attention. Simply by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and increasing the amount of oxygen in our atmosphere, we can reduce the carbon dioxide covering the planet and causing the temperature increases. These climate changes have already begun to impact us and our futures, but we can do things to help slow down these changes and maybe even reverse them. However, we must act quickly, because time is of the essence if we want our futures to be assured.
