What I know about climate change is that i has always existed. People now pay more attention to it because we are the ones being affected by it not severely, but not only us but animals as well that are eventually going to end up extinct. I know that the number 1 cause is the burning of fossil fuels and humans. -Wendy Rodriguez

Although I am pretty embarrassed to say it , I am not very familiar with global warming. I think it's how our actions such as littering , air pollution affects our environment and the animals in our enviroment.

Nuclear power is the way forward. I think implementing new safe western reactors in heavily coal burning places, i.e India and China is one of our the saving grace. Not to mention eradicated the sanctimonious money hungry multi multi billionaire Musk and his fan boys, from actively destroying our country with just putting more cars on the road, while reinvesting actual billions to fight the actual problem solving, like trains. IMO Americans top 5 public enemy, maybe even number one. Have the Teslas not a single good thing fo CA traffic congestion, no. Build trains, and start taking city transit/ infrastructure seriously is our only hope to a better cleaner America. But I know the auto makers and oil companies will not ever let it happen in my lifetime :(

Climate change is the over time changes of weather temperatures having very negative effects on the Earth and its survival. Very hot weather in cold habitats and drastic changes throughout the world in weather. This can be due to air pollution, ocean pollution, factories, and the industrialized progression in the world. The fumes and gasses emitted into the air bring negative impact to the health of the Earth. It is a bit terrifying to me. I know that New York had a timer counting down the years we have to save the Earth, it really makes me wonder what climate change even really means or what we can do as one to stop the countdown and better the safety of the planet.  Brianna Benavides

I am not so educated on climate change, my knowledge is that climate change is a global change of temperatures that occurs from growing population. Over time we as humans need to find a way to slow or stop climate change.

What I know about climate change is that it is a gradual change of climate in a region. Climate change naturally occurs over time, but human existence has definitely escalated the rate at which climates are changing. Climate change is often used interchangeably with global warming, but they are two separate things. Climate change is the umbrella term for a region's climate shifting either hotter or colder over time, while global warming refers to the planet warming up due to greenhouse gases. Lots of things can affect climate change, such as greenhouse gases, fossil fuel emissions, air pollution, and smog. Climate change isn't something that is noticeable in the average person's day-to-day life, but over-time studies can track the gradual shift in a climate. It can be the warming or cooling or specific areas.

What I know about climate change is that it the change of temperature and weather patterns and I know that global warming is huge at the moment since our temperatures are at an extreme then what they were before due to the chemicals being spread and the pollution of Earth as for the topic I am pretty uneducated about it but I do know that climate change is a huge thing right now because the way it is going it will affect life the way we know it and it already is affecting life the way we know it and do not know if we will make it far by the way we are going.-Brenda Maya Consuelo

Without citations, I do not have any concrete statistics on the global effects of climate change. Even as a global phenomenon, it impacts the most economically disadvantaged first, and is one of the many causes of the mass-migrations being made from the global south to first world countries. We also know that there's resistance from both poles on solving the issue, although the favor has always been towards the shareholding and ownership class of the fossil fuel industry and their cronies.

On the physical and scientific perspective, global warming manifests itself and is caused by a myriad of things. Namely, it involves the trapping of greenhouse gases - primarily carbons emitted by human industrial developments - into our atmosphere, heating the planet and changing its ecology. Once again, there's limitations to an explanation so simple, given all the many things to consider. With factors such as deforestation, global drought, and pollution caused by war to consider, solutions will need to be considered as a joint, global effort, in order to be successful and long-lasting.

I know that climate change if we don't get a hold on it, it will cause to increase in heat, ocean levels and unpredictable weather patterns. Also the ice its melting which also effects the climate.  But what also worsens it is the burning of coil (fossil fuel). -Janesa Martinez

Climate Change:  Michelle L. De Soto
Climate change in many cases is referred to as long time shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

I think climate change is when the Earth’s temperature changes and has more extreme weather events because of greenhouse gases made by humans.

I work at an environmental nonprofit so I am bombarded with bad news about climate change all day. There are some amazing climate solutions out there, but it is hard to not give in to eco-anxiety and eco-depression. We need a drastic, systemic, change. Unless corporations and governments step up we will not be able to combat global climate change. Individual actions are not enough.

A human made issue which arose from the industrial and agricultural revolutions, which improved the livelihoods of many at the cost of placing the burden on the extraction of resources from the Earth. With increased livelihoods has led to expanded consumerism due to an engorgin population, creating scarcity for resources. The extraction of these resources continue to pollute and warm the planets biomes with the hardest hit region being the most extreme areas (desert and the Arctic). If human pollution, temperature, and nature degradation was to be put on a graph, we'd currently be at the peak of human history.

I know that climate change are long-term changes in  weather patterns and temperatures that are caused by us. Some primary things that cause climate change are burning fossil fuels, deforestation, the use of vehicles, as well as a few other things. This has caused many bad things to happen to our Earth, one including many animals to lose their homes and habitats.

Climate change has been a big problem due to globalization. In the pursuit of keeping up with the high grow in populations needs and wants. The huge companies have made ton of factories that are part of climate change. There are solutions in reducing climate change, though this means to cut down on mass production, find alternative ways to substituted certain material for other. This would be a benefit to the world, but not to the wealthy. For the wealthy this means less money. Another huge issue would be the over population of humans.

I know that climate change has only been worsening through out the years, and decades, but I've heard that if the world really wants to fight against climate change and help sustain the planet, countries are going to have to change the way their factories work. Factories and industrial areas produce so much CO2 that causes damage to the atmosphere. It's sad to me to know that humans found out about this "invisible shield" and learned how crucial it is for our environment, and yet big businessmen and world leaders don't care. Those leaders and factory owners know how to help reduce the CO2 being sent out, but they refuse to do it because they will earn less money; despite already having more money they'll ever truly need. It's the lack of care for the present, negligence of future generations, and corporate greed that is killing the Earth.

Climate change is the change in temperature that leads to negative effects on the planet. A big contributor to climate change is fuel. Cars that use gas as well as airplanes and other motorized machinery that uses fuel to operate is a big cause of climate change. The more people on the planet also is a cause. When people breathe, they release carbon dioxide causing the air to warm up. The increased levels of carbon dioxide also cause leaves on plants to thicken, resulting them to be less efficient. Climate change is also causing glaciers to melt which raises the sea levels. If they raise too much, it could take out a large population and landmass. The warmer the planer gets, the harder it is going to be to survive.

The basis of my knowledge on climate change revolves around long term shifts in climate, temperatures, and weather patterns around the globe due to the anthropocene  epoch and the damage humans are causing to the natural balance of nature. Humans are the main reason for climate change because we cause massive amounts of air pollution and ocean pollution due to excessive amounts of trash and waste as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas). These fuels produces heat trapping chemicals and gases that is slowly (but surely) causing temperatures throughout Earth to rise to unhealthy/ unsustainable temperatures. Due to overpopulation, supply and demand has gone way up, causing more of these fuels to be burned every single day. The only hope we have is the enlightenment of knowledge and teamwork which allows the transition to sustainable practices including utilizing clean energy and reducing waste in order to keep the health and wellness of the planet for future generations. If nothing happens in the fight against climate change, we will inevitably be the reason for humanities downfall.

As far as I know, Climate Change is the result of heat and gases being trapped in the atmosphere. Prior to industrialization, heat could escape through the atmosphere and into space quick enough that no problem was caused to the planet. However, now that a large portion of the world has been industrialized, some places for centuries, human activity produces more heat than can be adequately be taken care of by the atmosphere. This heat is increases temperatures which will begin to melt the ice caps, and the weather begins to change too. The earth has been inhabited by humans for a very long time, but the earth wasn't intended to be inhabited by billions of people, covered in metal boxes fuming gas into the air, and factories producing endless amount of waste in the air. Planet earth definitely will recover from climate change, but she doesn't not care if we stay along for the ride. So we need to do out best to reverse it before it is too late to go back.

Climate Change is a trend of changing global temperatures usually a warmer global average over time. It has picked up pace for the past 100 years due to massive industrialization and emissions of greenhouse gasses. I also know that there are natural trends and changes in temperature and weather but it has been accelerated and changing at an unprecedented rate because of human activity. Climate change also brings more bizarre and extreme natural disasters at a more rapid pace as well. There is also a no return point that some scientists and experts believed has already past where repair to the globe is not possible. Some may have called Climate Change "Global Warming" but it is more applicable to apply the term Climate Change because more extreme weathers are occurring and not just the average global temperature rising.

Climate change is a natural occurrence of warming and cooling periods on earth that has been happening way before humans even existed although there has been a rapid increase in climate change due to human causes such as rapid oil burning and drilling, mass deforestation, power plants, vehicles and other everyday human activity. The rapid increase of climate change due to humans have caused a numerous amount of issues like; ocean temperatures rising too fast leading to coral reef bleaching and melting ice that is releasing diseases that have been hidden for years, overall increased risk of long term health issues such as asthma and cancers, and even contributes to the scarcity of ethically sourced foods as soil health is rapidly decreasing. Even though climate change is natural, the rate that is at right now is no where near natural and will soon be unsustainable for certain life and resources on earth.

While I don't know a lot about Climate Change, I do know it is a warming and changing of global temperatures and climates caused by human activity. What I know most about what causes climate change is the greenhouse effect. This is when gasses like methane or C02 get pumped into the atmosphere by humans burning fossil fuels or other such activities, and then those gasses get trapped in the atmosphere and cause the Sun's heat rays to bounce around more in the atmosphere and warm the planet more. I know climate change has been heavily correlated to increased natural disasters, which are projected to get worse and worse. Also, climate change has been causing an increase in the average global temperature and the temperature of our oceans.

# data[].attributes.body
What I Know about climate change is that its something that has been happening for a very long time changes in the global temperatures and other characteristics of the atmosphere. climate change is like a pattern of weather over a longer period of time. The average measurement of temperature, wind, humidity, snow nd rain all have parts to it. What I fell that may be causing climate change would be anything from Generating power to manufacturing goods also cutting down forests and many more. As well as human activity is causing worldwide temperatures to rise higher and faster than we know of.

The ocean absorbs most of the heat we produce. Studies have shown that about 90% of heat gained by the planet was brought in from the ocean. The ocean has a great amount of heat capacity, which is why some organisms including causing coral reefs to die. Ocean is a big help considering it absorbs about a third of carbon in the atmosphere.
Air pollution kills and affects more then 10 million people a year. Asia and Africa are being affected since they are dealing with poor air qualities and will most likely continue to deal with this for many years.

Climate change is a rapid deteriorating scientific change that is taking a toll on earth and all the species that live on it. The obvious effect from Climate change is erratic temperature changes and the icebergs melting in the Artic.  Fast fashion, greenhouse gases, gasoline, industries releasing fumes into the earth, landfills, etc. are some causes of climate change. Climate change will take a huge toll just like it is now but most likely even heavier in the future. Living situations might change and we are going to have to adapt to life in a different way such as us adjusting to masks since the illness of COVID-19.

Although my peers have already stated most of what I know about climate change. This being a change of temperature of our planet, do to the green house effect created by gasses in our atmosphere that trap heat. One thing I didn't see posted that also helps expedite climate change is our meat consumption. As cattle often release a gas called methane which is far more effective at trapping heat than other greenhouse gasses. It is important to understand that climate change is a natural occurrence for our planet, as it has gone through different climate changes throughout its life. However this does not mean we should contribute carelessly or blindly to it. For this is our home and we have nowhere else not go.

Climate change is a change in the pattern of weather, and related changes in the oceans, land, surfaces, and ice sheets, occurring over time scales of decades or longer.

-Lola Khuseynova

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change can be observed globally as varied climatic shifts but refers to an overall rise in global temperature. The cause of the warming is the increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Naturally occurring gasses in the atmosphere help trap heat from the sun and maintain the warmth we need to survive, but human activity has been increasing these levels at an alarming rate. Activities that contribute involve: burning fossil fuels, logging/burning of forests, irresponsible manufacturing practices, decomposition of garbage, irresponsible farming practices, etc. There are a myriad of negative effects the Earth experiences but most notable IMO is the  ocean acidifying as it absorbs carbon, threatening the entire food chain. Our sustenance is also threatened, as changes in precipitation will further affect farming. As glaciers melt, rising sea levels will displace populations while less food is available to feed vulnerable populations.

Honestly I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to climate change. Obviously it starts off with the planet getting hotter. With that it has a big effect on everything. It produces more carbon dioxide which adds on to the all the carbon dioxide we already release. With more CO2 it effects vegetation. Also heat produces droughts which also affect vegetation.

Climate change is essentially a switch in the weather over a long period of time, negatively affecting the global climate. In the short term, the temperature changes may seem minor, but over time there can be disastrous effects. As far as I'm aware, climate change is normal to some degree, but as a society we've made many decisions that have unfortunately sped up the process. Climate change has been exacerbated by many things, including but not limited to: deforestation, burning fossil fuels, decomposition of waste in landfills, and oil drilling. We have already seen some effects, and it seems to be only the tip of the iceberg. Some things that can be attributed to climate change are: melting glaciers and sea ice, sea level rise, and global temperature changes. In the future, climate change will likely include: even more of a rise in temperature, longer seasons, changes in weather patterns, the Arctic could become ice free, and reduction in agricultural yields.

Climate change is the shift of the Earth's temperature. Although the shifts are really small, smaller than one degree, the overall effect is really big. Carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases, trap heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature at a point in which life is supported. As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, or other forms of pollution, the higher concentration of gases trap more heat, increasing the temperature of the atmosphere.

I don't know as much about climate change as I would like to but I do know that climate change is is affected by long term changes in temperature and weather patterns. The rise of temperatures on earth are severely impacted by the burning of fossil fuels, oils, gas and coals. The chemicals that release from those items are creating greenhouse gas emissions that are trapping heat in the inner atmosphere.
-Vanessa Coello

What I could remember about climate change is when the outside weather creates different temperature rates due to factories or wildlife in the world. It also contributes the polarity of atmospheric pressure of carbon dioxide on fossil fuels. One of the principles of climate change are Greenhouse Gases, the change in the Earth's orbit, and Volcanic Activities happening on the islands. Also, the people including ourselves can sometimes establish climate change wherever we go.

What I know about climate change is that the long term temperature and the weather changes can have a huge impact on the climate. I also know that although the shifts in the climate can be natural, there are human activities, like burning of fossil fuels, can produce heat trapping gas which definitely is not good for the climate.

What I know about climate change is that it is the very slow increase in temperatures that has increased in effect with the introduction of cars and burning of natural gas. I believe the main cause is carbon emissions from our cars that go into the atmosphere and block the sun's heat from escaping. This is called the greenhouse effect. Some of the projected effects are higher temperatures, stronger hurricanes, and severe heat waves. Nathaniel Loving

It is the slight change in average temperatures in the climate that can pose as a serious danger later down the line. I know that the  change in climate is because of us as human and how we live our lives on a daily. Climate change has gotten worse in the past decade and if we change nothing it will be unhealthy to even step foot outside of our homes.
