According to an analysis by NASA scientists, Earth's average temperature has increased about 1 degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century. What's the big deal?
One degree may sound like a small amount, but it's an unusual event in our planet;s recent history. Earth's climate record shows that the global average temperature is stable over long periods of time. Furthermore, small changes in temperature correspond to enormous changes in the environment.
Climate change is already beginning to transform life on Earth. Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result to global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges ted have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. These are only some of the effects of climate change.
Repeatedly, we hear or read the same suggestions as to what you can do to prevent or stop climate change. We can do something to solve this issue by conserving energy, planting trees, decreasing the use of air-conditions and many more. We should take responsibility of every action we make. In these simple ways, we can contribute in mitigating CLIMATE CHANGE.
