As we burn up the planets coal, oil and gas supplies and destroy vast areas of forests and
peatlands, greenhouse gases are pouring into the atmosphere and disrupting the delicate balance of
gases that sustains life on our planet. This is changing our world and having devastating impacts on
people and environments.
The overwhelming majority of climate scientists all agree on this the rising global
temperatures weve recently experienced are down to human activity. The unawareness, ignorance and
apathy among people are the biggest problems.
Climate change is the unconstant change of average atmospheric conditions in a certain region over
a period of time. Climate change is driven by factors such as changes in the atmospheric concentration
of greenhouse gases and aerosols, land cover and radiation, and their combinations, which then result in
what is called radiative forcing (positive or warming and negative or cooling effect). We do not know
how these different drivers will specifically affect the future climate, but the model simulation will
provide estimates of its plausible ranges.
The warming is extremely rapid on the geologic time scale, and no other factor can explain it but
because of human irresponsible activities and emission of greenhouse gases.
Gradual increasing of climate and temperature , with more extreme and disastrous weather;
Coral reefs and other sensitive habitats are already starting to die;
Longer term, if emissions rise unchecked, destabilize governments;
Produce waves of refugees;
Precipitate the sixth mass extinction of plants and animals in the Earths history, and
Melt the polar ice caps, causing the seas to rise high enough to flood most of the worlds
coastal cities.
The emissions that create those risks are happening now, raising deep moral questions for our
generation.
