Climate change makes a big change for the earth. But not all of humans know and understand about climate change. The people who understand about climate change want to protect the earth, because climate change makes a big problem for the earth and the humans. They start to tell other people about effects of climate change. According to the source, “climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in the average weather conditions or a change in the distribution of weather events with respect to an average, for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events.”1 Climate change makes the intensity of weather to be extreme.
Since the climate change make a big problem for us, we have to know the causes and the effects of climate change. Many people said that the main cause of climate change is natural causes but the others said that because human’s activity. According to my opinion, maybe the causes of climate change are natural causes but human’s activity make the impact of climate change become faster perceived by us. So we can divide into two categories, humans and natural causes.2The effect of climate change can be felt now. Because it will also affect human’s activity. It is like the aphorism, we do it, so we will also feel the impact.
The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions, ocean current, the Earth’s orbital changes and solar variations.3
The human industrial activities are the major cause of climate change because of fossil fuel and greenhouse gas.4 The Industrial Revolution in the 19th century started using fuel on a large scale for industrial activity. The land that was green changed becomes the land for buildings and housing. The existing natural resources continue to be used intensively for the needs of the construction,
