Not only is it real, it is also a defining issue of our time.
The cause of climate change is mainly anthropomorphic, so it is our duty to alleviate the problem. We must take drastic action before adapting to the detrimental effects of climate change will be even more difficult and costly.
At Climate Avengers, our goal is to raise awareness and teach others how
to fight climate change in their own lives, through workshops, virtual
climate marches, and eco-friendly ideas one can implement at home.
Join us today to help us spread awareness and be the change.
Due to the combustion of fossil fuels, there are extremely high atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. As a result, a greenhouse effect is trapping more of the sun’s heat at the earth’s surface, which gradually warms the earth.
Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have always been present in the atmosphere, keeping the earth hospitable to life by trapping heat. However, since the industrial revolution, emissions of these gases from anthropomorphic activity have accumulated steadily, trapping more heat and exacerbating the natural greenhouse effect.
As a result, global average temperatures have risen both on land and in the oceans, with observable impacts already occurring that foretell increasingly severe changes in the future. Polar ice is melting. Storms are increasing in intensity. Ecosystems around the world already are deteriorating, as plant and animal species struggle to adapt to a shifting climate, and new climate-related threats emerge.
