Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial pollution. These actions increase greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere.
The consequences of climate change are alarming. Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, frequent floods, droughts, and unpredictable weather patterns threaten both humans and wildlife. Agricultural productivity has also been affected, leading to food insecurity in many regions.
To combat this global issue, we must adopt sustainable practices. Planting more trees, using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, reducing carbon footprints, and recycling can significantly reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Governments and citizens must act together to protect our planet.
If we take action now, future generations will inherit a cleaner, safer, and greener Earth.
