in the last few decades we have seen drastic changes in weather patterns the ongoing rise in
temperature is causing severe stress to our planet and we will be facing serious consequences in the
near future if we don't take action now this video will highlight how human activities both
domestic and Industrial over consumes fossil fuels causing climate change we will also check out some
easy and cost-effective ways to help us slow down this process to start off climate change can be
defined simply as the shift in Earth's temperature and weather patterns over a long period of time
did you know that in the last decade we have experienced the hottest temperatures in 125 000
years and that by 2050 it is expected to increase a further 1.5 degrees even though we need our
planet to be kept warm enough to keep all living things alive Earth is literally suffocating the
more we burn fossil fuels that emit potent gases like carbon dioxide methane and nitrous oxide
processes of burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil coal or gas for use in
factories transportation and the development of infrastructure emit greenhouse gases that are
absorbed into our atmosphere causing our planet to trap extra heat radiated from the Sun it is
exactly this trapped heat increasing the rise in temperature which leads to global warming
and climate change because of the natural and enhanced greenhouse effect the heat stuck in the
lower atmosphere responsible for weather Behavior cannot Escape back into space and stays up there
for centuries the natural greenhouse effect is considered a good thing but the rapid increase
of enhanced greenhouse gas from human activity is hazardous and will cause parts of the planet
to become uninhabitable think about it 8 billion people versus one planet Earth simply cannot keep
up the more human life develops the more we need more shelter more food and more natural resources
it is clear that Earth's relationship with climate change is complicated that's why the future of
our environment wildlife and human existence depends on knowing how to find a healthier
safer and Greener way to live are you wondering if all of this is real well 97 of scientists and
environment experts have worked Around the Clock finding evidence that proves heat waves causing
droughts floods and severe storms as well as rising sea levels are triggered and intensified
by human activity that means that you and I can possibly destroy our future food and water supply
if we do not take action now which means that the human population as we know it will get wiped up
causing a catastrophic domino effect we just need to figure out how to go about things the
right way and it starts with awareness awareness is absolute in fighting climate change thinking
about what we use how we use it and how we can reproduce it will help slow down the rapidly
increasing factors impacting climate change there are so many impactful ways to encourage
sustainable living and I would say it starts at home check out these three easy sustainable
habits that can help us reduce con contributing to climate change one unplug and unpower devices
at home or school to save energy 2. go green plant some veggies or a baby tree to give back
to the Earth what we take out 3 and our ultimate favorite reuse reduce repay and recycle everything
in the next video we will reveal some of the most important facts
about greenhouse gases and discuss the enhanced greenhouse effect see you then
save our planet one step at a time your choice your change thank you for watching
