Climate change is starting to become a problem. The earth is warming up. Some people don't believe in it but a lot of people do. It is melting our ice glaciers and causing the sea level to rise. The Earth's temperature has risen 1.5 degrees fahrenheit since the last century. The earth's temperature is expected to rise 0.5 to 8.5 degrees fahrenheit over the next hundred years. Even that little of a change in temperature it can cause huge problems on earth. It is already changing weather patterns of precipitation.
Most of the climate change is caused from humans. Over the past century the has been a lot of fossil fuels burn from producing energy. It raises carbon dioxide levels and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are like a blanket to the earth. It trapps in energy into the earth which causes global warming. It does not let any energy circulate through the atmosphere. It is trapping it all in. It is called the greenhouse effect.
Climate change could threaten a lot of things such as Agriculture, water supplies, natural resources, human health, etc. All of those things we need very much. Some people just take those things for granite. We don't even think about life without them. Some people don't even care about global warming now but when it becomes a big problem later they will realize it was. We need to start preventing it now.
Some of climate change is unavoidable though. Carbon dioxide does stay in the atmosphere so over a long period of time we are still going to have global warming. That does not mean we can still prevent it. We are just making it worse and occur faster. If we reduced the amount of fossil fuels burned we could reduce it and slow it down a lot. There are also plenty of other ways to prevent it.
