What is a climate change?
'Climate'
is the word that describes long-term averages in world's weather. 'Climate
change' means a change in these weather patterns. Climate can become warmer or
colder. Annual amounts of rainfall or snowfall can increase and decrease.
Climate change is one of today's most important environmental issues, destined
to affect our plant for generations to come. It is important for all of us to
learn as much as we can about climate change and the things we can do to help
the planet.
Today's Climate Change
More
than 100 years ago, people around the world started burning large amounts of
coal, oil, and natural gas to power their homes, factories, and vehicles.
Today, most of the world relies on these fossil fuels for their energy needs.
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas, into the
atmosphere, which is the main reason why the climate is changing.
Heat-trapping
gases are also called greenhouse gases. They exist naturally in the atmosphere,
where they help keep the Earth warm enough for plants and animals to live. But
people are adding extra greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. These extra gases
are causing the Earth to get warmer, setting off all sorts of other changes
around the world—on land, in the oceans, and in the atmosphere. And these
changes affect people, plants, and animals in many ways.
If you want to
help keep our waters clean, there are many things you can do to help. You can
prevent water pollution of nearby rivers and lakes as well as groundwater and
drinking water by following some simple guidelines in your everyday life.
- Conserve water by turning off the tap when
running water is not necessary. This helps prevent water shortages and
reduces the amount of contaminated water that needs treatment.
- Be careful about what you throw down your
sink or toilet. Don’t throw paints, oils or other forms of litter down the
drain.
- Use environmentally household products,
such as washing powder, household cleaning agents and toiletries.
- Take great care not to overuse pesticides
and fertilizers. This will prevent runoffs of the material into nearby
water sources.
- By having more plants in your garden you
are preventing fertilizer, pesticides and contaminated water from running
off into nearby water sources.
- Don’t throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans. Help clean up any litter you see on beaches or in rivers and lakes, make sure it is safe to collect the litter and put it in a nearby dustbin.
