Global warming has serious consequences for ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and economies. To mitigate these effects, global efforts are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adopt sustainable practices.

The main causes of global warming are human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and industrial agriculture. This leads to phenomena like polar ice melting, rising sea levels, altered weather patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events.

I agree with this perspective because it highlights human responsibility in the climate crisis and reinforces the idea that there is still room for meaningful change. If we surrender to the problem, we accept defeat without a fight; however, if we face it with innovation, proper policies, and changes in our habits, we can mitigate its effects and build a more sustainable future.

ncrease in global temperatures: Global warming has led to a sustained rise in temperatures worldwide, affecting biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health, causing heat-related illnesses and impacting crops.

Disruption of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity: Climate change is affecting natural habitats, endangering many animal and plant species, some of which may go extinct if proper measures are not taken to mitigate these effects.

Economic and social impact: The consequences of global warming have a significant economic impact, from damage to infrastructure due to extreme weather events to the costs associated with adapting and mitigating the effects of climate change, primarily affecting the most vulnerable communities.

The causes, effects and complexities of global warming are important to understand so that we can fight for the health of our planet.

CO2 concentration: The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has reached unprecedented levels in the last 800,000 years. It is currently above 420 parts per million (ppm), which is one of the main causes of global warming.

Accelerated ice melt: The world’s glaciers are losing mass rapidly. In the last decade, Antarctica has lost about 2.7 trillion tons of ice, contributing to the rise in sea levels.

More frequent heatwaves: Heatwaves are becoming more intense and more frequent due to global warming. This phenomenon is particularly affecting regions that were already prone to high temperatures.

The ocean absorbs 90% of extra heat: The ocean acts as a natural "coolant," absorbing about 90% of the extra heat caused by greenhouse gas emissions. However, this is leading to ocean acidification and disrupting marine ecosystems.

The Arctic is warming faster: The Arctic region is experiencing warming at a much faster rate than the global average, a phenomenon known as "polar amplification." This is causing the loss of sea ice, which affects species that depend on this habitat, such as polar bears.

Global warming affects the color of the oceans: As the oceans warm, their color also changes. Higher temperatures can reduce the amount of phytoplankton at the ocean's surface, affecting the appearance of the water and marine life in general

The photographer (a native of the San Gabriel Valley, just east of Los Angeles) selected these images of the fire that came so close to his hometown. What made them so catastrophic? Note that there are several factors.

The first, says Thiessen, is the nature of the area: much of California's ecosystems depend on regular fire for their function and health. Plants like chaparral need fire to germinate, or grasses and shrubs depend on fires to clear the forest floor and allow them to grow. However, humans have interfered with this natural process over the past hundred years.

"Since 1910, we have put out so many fires that our forests are covered with underbrush," says Thiessen. This means there is more fuel available to ignite.

Riddle
The sun gives me heat,
and you can see me in the waters,
I’m very hot, but also very salty,
and ice disappears as I pass.
What am I?

Weather is a specific event-like a rainstorm or hot day-that happens over a few hours, days or weeks. Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over 30 years or more. NASA has observed that Earth's climate is getting warmer.
