go 13 of the sustainable development
goals climate action discussed changes
in the ecosystem due to climate change
climate change affects the entire planet
although there are many discussions
about how humans are affected we often
forget that plants animals and their
habitats are also victims of this
phenomenon changes in temperature and
climate can impact plant growth stages
migration patterns water quality and
many other factors these plants and
wildlife need to survive the warm waters
trigger a chain reaction of events that
affects all levels of the ecosystem due
to the sea level rising saltwater
invading a freshwater system can cause a
species to move or simply die off this
removes an animal from the food chain
which is sometimes crucial for the
existence of another species plants also
face the problem from the change in
temperature certain plants can only grow
in specific temperatures when it gets
hotter or colder these plants can no
longer grow and eventually die out
natural disasters are also influenced by
global warming and affect plants and
animals strong hurricanes can blow away
animals and level entire ecosystems
while wildfires can completely destroy
them there are ways to cut back on the
damage that climate change is doing to
the ecosystem there are plenty of
manmade factors that contribute to
global warming including our factories
and cars but since we are the cause of
most of the troubles these ecosystems
face it's up to us to restore balance
and make things right not only should we
look to prevent climate change from
further damaging our ecosystems but we
need to start restoring the ones that
have already been affected living
healthier and more energy-efficient
lives is the first step in doing this
the creation of processed food is one of
the leading causes of greenhouse gases
in the world by cutting meat and dairy
out of your diet the levels of carbon
dioxide being put into the air will
begin to decrease
our planets ecosystems have been here
longer than us
these plants and animals may not be able
to protect themselves against the
effects of climate change but we can
it's up to us to preserve these natural
wonders and maintain the balance on
earth
