CAUSES, EFFECTS AND ACTIONS TO TAKE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

According to United Nations (UN), climate change can be defined as a long term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

The burning of fuels which produces gases that are heat trapping has been considered as being among some of human activities which has played a major role in causing climate change.

Other key causes of climate change include:

               1. Generation of power

               2. Manufacture of goods

               3. Cutting down trees and many more.

The gases produced consist of CO2, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrous oxide and water vapor.

Scientists predict of major effect that are about to fall to our planet. This includes:

              1.more severe storms

              2. Hotter temperatures

              3.increased drought

              4. Rising sea levels

              5. Melting glaciers etc

As much as climate change tend to affect the environment the human life is at great risk in being affected considering the fact that drought can harm food production which can lead to major starvation and some people loosing their lives.

Climate change can be limited if people globally join hands to change from the way we travel, the amount of electricity we consume.

Other actions that can help limit climate change include:

          1.saving energy at home

          2.walk or cycle

          3.consume more vegetables

          4.Reuse, repair and recycle

          5. Switch to electric vehicles

I believe that if we fight together to save our beautiful planet am sure we will win because the change starts with an individual.
