Climate Change
Climate Change is the global variation in the Earth's climate. These changes can be caused by processes internal to the Earth, external forces or human activities. However, the influence that our activities have on the planet is called global warming. Because of this, the temperature has increased two degrees in the last thirty years and it will go on increasing in the future if we don't do anything. On the one hand, thousands of people have some responsibility for this change, but on the other hand there are other reasons, as for example: The greenhouse effect, To burn fossil's combustibles, The felling and burning of trees, The pollution that is caused by cars and factories. Some of these activities are giving off so much carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere and they are accumulating. For this reason the oceans and forest are having difficulties to absorb these gases with greenhouse effect. And this greenhouse effect makes the energy arriving at Earth to come back more slowly and for this reason these gases are keeping in the surface and the temperature goes up more and more.
The consequences of this climate change can be several, for example:
The temperature can go up from 1,4 to 5,8º (degrees), There will be more twisters and hurricanes, The sea level can reach from 9 to 88 centimetres approximately, Some animals will become extinct, The meteorological phenomena will be more violent, The poles will melt down, There will be more droughts and floods, There are more possibilities that a big meteor falls down on the earth.
Despite everything, we can do a lot of things so that the world will be in the better conditions for future generations.
We can produce other kinds of energies as solar energy or wind power. We must use the public transport, to save energy in our houses, to use electrical appliances and light bulbs with lower consumption, etcetera. In conclusion, my recommendations are that each of us must do these things for trying to stop the climate change and to save our planet.
