WHAT IS IT?
Climate change takes place when there is a shift in long-term weather patterns, which define the Earth’s local, regional and global climates. Such changes within the weather patterns have occurred multiple times during the Earth’s history; the current period of climate change being referred to as “global warming”. This peculiar name illustrates the drastic rate at which the world is warming up, due to the dawn industrial revolution. Such a drastic increase in the earth’s average surface temperature is primarily caused by human activities, which included the release of heat-trapping greenhouse gases within the atmosphere. The impacts of global warming are even more disastrous and unfathomable as they include, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the loss of habitat for plants, animals and humans alike. If change does not take place and the earth is continued to be neglected this way, living a healthy life within a clean environment will soon become a distant memory for many.
The Earth’s average surface temperature has risen about 1.18 degrees Celsius (2.12 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 19th century (NASA)
Glaciers have retreated everywhere around the world, including in the Alps, Himalaya, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa (NASA).
The acidity in the ocean waters have increased by 30% since the late 19th century, due to the industrial revolution (NASA)
Global Sea level has risen about 8 inches in the last century (NASA)
The amount of spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has decreased over the past five decades (NASA).
