CLIMATE CHANGE
First of all, what is climate? Climate is the weather, such as temperature and
rainfall in a region. For example, the temperature in the Amazon is always high and it rains
almost every day. In the Antarctic, it is always freezing and there is almost no rain. Those are
two types of climate. Climate change describes a change in these conditions, over a long time.
NASA scientists tell us that Earth's surface is warming up. That is across the whole planet, not
just one or two regions. Most scientists agree that this change is man-made - that is, because of
human activity. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) releases greenhouse gases, particularly
carbon dioxide and methane.
Greenhouse gases are like a blanket around Earth - they stop heat from escaping.
That is how we get global warming. Cars, factories, power stations, farms, heating our homes –
all these everyday things contribute to climate change. It is a problem because as Earth warms
up, the ice at the North and South Poles melts, seas rise and land is lost. Forests heat up and
then burn. Animal habitats are lost. Some governments are trying to reduce carbon emissions.
The Paris Agreement (2015) is an international agreement to limit the amount of greenhouse
gases countries are allowed to emit. However, we can all contribute. We must use less energy:
switch off the heater; walk, don’t ride in the car etc. Vegetation gives off oxygen and soaks up
carbon, so if possible, support regreening projects by donating money, or plant some plants
yourself, or even plant a tree.
