Climate change is the long term alteration of temperature, precipitation, and other climate system components. It's primarily caused by human actions that increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
• Fossil Furnish: Coal, oil, and natural gas that is burned for energy and travel.

• Deforestation: Trees facilitate the absorption of CO2, while cutting them down will increase the atmospheric concentration of CO2.

• Industrial Activities: Emission of greenhouse gases from manufacturing and chemical compounds.

# data[].attributes.body
• Social: The increased frequency of extreme weather events (storms, heatwaves) that occur affects the health of humans, causes communities to move, and poses a threat to food security.

• Political: Climate change can cause disputes over resources, causes of migration, and economic instability, all of which have an effect on national and international politics.

• Environmental: Melting glaciers, increasing sea levels, and altering ecosystems have the effect of destroying wildlife and habitat.

Plastic pollution is the pollution of plastic resources in the environment, this has negative consequences for wildlife, ecosystems, and human health. Plastics are common due to their long durability and frequent use.

# data[].attributes.body
•   Overuse of Single-Use Plastics: Items like bags, bottles, and straws are overused but still have a short lifespan in the environment.

•  Incorrectly Managed Waste: Ineffective recycling systems and littering.

•   Industrial Flux: Plastic waste entering water bodies from manufacturing facilities and waste disposal facilities.

• Social: The risks of health associated with microplastic in the food chain are significant, the economic costs associated with cleaning up and the loss of tourism are also significant.

• Political: The increasing popularity of governments to enforce rules and improve waste disposal.

• Environmental: Harm to marine organisms, damage to ecosystems, and pollution to water sources.

Deforestation is the large-scale destruction of forests for human purposes like agriculture, deforestation, or logging. It leads to a significant loss of forested space and negatively affects various ecosystems.

# data[].attributes.body
•Agricultural Expansion: The conversion of forests into farmland for agriculture and grazing.

•Logging: The harvesting of trees for both timber and paper products.

• Urbanization: Increasing cities and other infrastructure in proximity to forests.

# data[].attributes.body
• Social: The loss of indigenous sources of livelihood, the displacement of communities, and the lack of access to natural resources.

•Political: Disputes over land usage, regulatory issues, and international pressure to halt deforestation.

•Environmental: biodiversity loss, disrupted carbon and water cycles, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
