1. Is it really a "global crisis" ?

2. What can we do to stop it ?

3. Is it because of the big and evil companies ?

I know that climate change is real and it is coming for us all . Scientist even declared a "global scale" crisis and demanded immidiate action

3. Though it's believed that we have 12 years to limit its catastrophic outcomes, some scientists argue that there might be less, much less time than that.
To really make an impact on climate change, we must do something to prevent it in the next 18 months or so. Scientists believe that if the 18 months are spent efficiently, we might avoid the apocalypse.

2. Well, if you take the economic benefits into account, you may say that climate change indeed has benefits. It prolongs the growing seasons in some parts of the world and increases the efficiency of agriculture in the northern parts of the world.
But do these facts outweigh the downsides of it? To me;
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

# data[].attributes.body
1. We can see that not only the glaciers have begun to shrink, but the rainfall has increased all over the world. And also there are plants blooming earlier, and animal species where they shouldn't be, because of their shifting habitats.

3) I thougt they were the same but it turned out they were not. Global warming” refers only to the rise in global temperatures due to human activities.
Climate change refers to the changes that are happening to the World. It includes warming and the “side effects” of warming. These include rising sea levels; shrinking glaciers; ice melts and shifts in flower/plant blooming times.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Global warming refers only to the Earth's rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the "side effects" of warming-like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. Said another way, global warming is one symptom of the much larger problem of human-caused climate change.

Another distinction between global warming and climate change is that when scientists or public leaders talk about global warming these days, they almost always mean human-caused warming-warming due to the rapid increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from people burning coal, oil, and gas.

Climate change, on the other hand, can mean human-caused changes or natural ones, such as ice ages. Besides burning fossil fuels, humans can cause climate changes by emitting aerosol pollution-the tiny particles that reflect sunlight and cool the climate- into the atmosphere, or by transforming the Earth's landscape, for instance, from carbon-storing forests to farmland.

A climate change unlike any other

The planet has experienced climate change before: the Earth's average temperature has fluctuated throughout the planet's 4.54 billion-year history. The planet has experienced long cold periods ("ice ages") and warm periods ("interglacials") on 100,000-year cycles for at least the last million years.

Previous warming episodes were triggered by small increases in how much sunlight reached Earth's surface and then amplified by large releases of carbon dioxide from the oceans as they warmed (like the fizz escaping from a warm soda).

Today's global warming is overwhelmingly due to the increase in heat-trapping gases that humans are adding to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. In fact, over the last five decades, natural factors (solar forcing and volcanoes) would actually have led to a slight cooling of Earth's surface temperature.

Global warming is also different from past warming in its rate. The current increase in global average temperature appears to be occurring much faster than at any point since modern civilization and agriculture developed in the past 11,000 years or so-and probably faster than any interglacial warm periods over the last million years.

New understanding required new terms

Regardless of whether you say that climate change is all the side effects of global warming, or that global warming is one symptom of human-caused climate change, you're essentially talking about the same basic phenomenon: the build up of excess heat energy in the Earth system. So why do we have two ways of describing what is basically the same thing?

According to historian Spencer Weart, the use of more than one term to describe different aspects of the same phenomenon tracks the progress of scientists' understanding of the problem.

As far back as the late 1800s, scientists were hypothesizing that industrialization, driven by the burning of fossil fuels for energy, had the potential to modify the climate. For many decades, though, they weren't sure whether cooling (due to reflection of sunlight from pollution) or warming (due to greenhouse gases) would dominate.

By the mid-1970s, however, more and more evidence suggested warming would dominate and that it would be unlike any previous, naturally triggered warming episode. The phrase "global warming" emerged to describe that scientific consensus.

But over subsequent decades, scientists became more aware that global warming was not the only impact of excess heat absorbed by greenhouse gases. Other changes-sea level rise, intensification of the water cycle, stress on plants and animals-were likely to be far more important to our daily lives and economies. By the 1990s, scientists increasingly used "human-caused climate change" to describe the challenge facing the planet.

The bottom line

Today's global warming is an unprecedented type of climate change, and it is driving a cascade of side effects in our climate system. It's these side effects, such as changes in sea level along heavily populated coastlines and the worldwide retreat of mountain glaciers that millions of people depend on for drinking water and agriculture, that are likely to have a much greater impact on society than temperature change alone.

3- There are some efforts to slow down the climate change but they are not enough to diminish the CO2 level yet. It's because CO2 level is getting higher and higher every year and we don't make enough for to prevent this. We can't decrease the CO2 level because we have to stabilize it and we need a good amount of time. Unfortunately the current measures are not enough at all because it's not decreasing on the contrary it's increasing at a fast pace. However, there are some new technologies that could contribute to decrease CO2 hanging on the air. For example there is a machine that can suck CO2 and storage it. The vehicle is called "Climeworks' and it is a very effective vehicle to handle this giant problem.

2- According to intergovernmental panel on climate change(the IPCC) CO2 emissions from fossil fuels which constitute %85 of our energy use must be reduced to zero by 2100. so it's still not too late but there is some damage already done and it won't be reversed for centuries but you know what they say "it's never too late to mend". So what we have got to do here is that every individual has to be aware of this problem and take action about how to solve this crucial issue all together.

1- Well there are lots of things to do in order to reduce climate changing both individually and communicatively. For example we could stop using burned coal and natural gas to produce electricity and instead we could use more renewable energies. Another example, we could stop wasting our food so that there would be less deforestation and we could start using public transportation vehicles or hybrid and electric cars. Also every person could plant a garden. So as you can see even little measurements could help a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
There is lots of proof that shows climate change is real. Some of them are: -temperature measurements
-changes in rainfall and weather patterns
-sea level rise
-melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice.
but the main proof is current CO2 level.

1) I learned that changes in weather, affect the environment that provides us with clean air, food, water, shelter, and security. Climate change will lead to hotter days and longer heatwaves which can lead to stroke and dehydration. Hotter days can worsen air quality which can lead to asthma attacks and other respiratory and cardiovascular health effects and finally any changes in a person's physical health or surrounding environment can also have impacts on their mental.

Due to climate change the glaciers in the poles are melting day after day.

Extreme and unusual temperatures cause immensive forest fires in tropical areas as recently happened in Brazil.

As the glaciers are melting, the water level has escalated up dramatically which is not promising for those people who live in low- altituded places like Maldives.
