Introductions (introductory posts) post #1


1) *Intro to the Problem of Climate Change *
*There are many reasons why climate in the world changes. These reasons
most likely lead to disaster and do not benefit the earth or the people in
it. Most of the time, climate change is due to the cause of pollution by us
humans. Some of these Climate changers are the burning of fossil fuels to
warm up homes, helps transportation and factories, deforistation, and
industrial admmisions, aswell as green house gases. The earth's gases like
water vapor and carbon dioxide, play an important role in deciding the
earth’s temperature that even as little as one degree more can affect us
all. Pollution and gases such as these release carbon dioxide and other
pollutions in the air, warming earth up more and more, causing sea level to
rise, glaciers to melt, temperatures of large lakes to warm, and heavier
rainfall that can cause flooding. This can cause people to lose their main
water supply from galciers, limiting food, causing many to get sick and
die. This can also cause flooding, leading to death many. Climate change can
eventually kill many, and dangerously risking lives of all species. The
weather and the seasons change all the time, this is a part of the way earth
works, but it can eventually get much worse. You can’t always see it, this is
why it’s dangerous, because people become unaware to these changes and continue
to hurt the earth. As a result of this the earth gets warmer, also causing more
and more worse storms and even Xsunamis.Because earth's air, water, and land are
linked to the climate, any changes to the air, land or water from the green
house gases due to us humans by burning the fossil fuels can affect us more
since we are affecting the earth, this makes these normal seasonal changes and
weather changes to happen more faster and bigger, spinning more out of control
and negatively affecting our planet. As our climate gets warmer, rain patterns
are starting to change, sea level rises, and the snow and ice are melting faster
than it should be doing in the spring. Less rain means that there is less water,
therefore limiting main resources for many people who depend on it the most. Or,
climate change can cause more rain, that causes flooding that can kill many.Or,
it can make the earth really hot and dry up people's crops and main source of
food that they grow and can even sell to others so that they can supply others
with food. This can also make animals sicker since it is really hot and
unbearable for them.




In this picture, there is a small earth that is on fire, on a hand,
representing the earth that can eventually lead to destruction from pollutions
like the green-house gases and other emissions that can be harmful to the earth
and everyone in it. The world is in our hands, basically saying we are
responsible to help save it.references:
