Introduction
In this study I am going to analyse how the different countries and individual people are responsible for combating climate change. I chose this topic because last year I’d studied about this topic and climate change is one of the main problems for last 3-5 years. From starting the earth people has caused several problems and climate change one of them. Now people should be the responsible about the damage they have made and try to find ways to fix. My country might be one of the victims of climate change on the future. That is another reason why I am interested about this topic.
Definition of Climate Change
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a climate change is “the change in global climate patterns apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards, attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels”.
Our Earth is warming. Over the past century, Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.4 °F and another 2 to 11.5°F rising up predicted over the next hundred years. Small changes; like those numbers in average temperature of the Earth can lead to large and potentially dangerous changes in climate and weather.
The evidence is clear. Increase on global temperature has been taken part by changes in climate and weather. Changes in rainfall is one of the obvious; changes in rainfall had impact on resulting in more floods, drought or intense rain in different places, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves. Oceans and glaciers have also faced some big changes – As the oceans are warming, they are becoming more acidic, glaciers are melting and the melted water from glaciers is leading to rise on sea level. As these and different changes become more well known through next several years, they will likely to have more affects on our society and environment.
