Global
climate change
The effects
of human-caused global warming are happening now, they will be irreversible on
the timescale of people living today and will worsen over the next few decades.
Scientists are very confident that global temperatures will continue to rise in
the coming decades, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human
activities.
The IPCC
predicts a temperature rise of between 2.5 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the
next century.
Some
long-term effects of global climate change will be:
- · Temperatures will continue to rise. The temperature rise has not been, and won’t be, uniform or even across the country or over time.
- · Precipitation Patterns Will Change
- ·
There
will be more droughts and heat waves
- ·
The
Arctic won't have more ice
- · Hurricanes will be stronger and more intense
what are we doing to tackle climate change?
The
solution requires comprehensive action
The
acceptance of acting against global warming has been a function of how
"sure" governments were that climate change was happening. What will
be its consequences? How much will it cost them to take action? And what will
be the benefits?
Walking or
cycling or using public transport, instead of a car, will reduce and there won’t
be many carbon emissions. Also, it will keep you fit.
Save energy
This will
generate that the energy is better used.
Inform and
educate others
The new
generations will grow up knowing what is happening in the world. They will
understand that this topic should not be left lightly.
The change
is now. This topic will not be aired.
Remember
that the world we will leave to our children will be different from how we know
it today.
