Main Cause: The burning of fossil fuels releases gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which trap heat and warm the planet.

Effects: Climate change leads to:

• Rising temperatures (heatwaves)

• Stronger storms (hurricanes, floods)

• Melting ice and rising sea levels

• Health risks (heat stress, diseases)

• Damage to ecosystems and wildlife.

We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using clean energy (like solar and wind), protecting forests, and using energy more efficiently. Countries around the world are working together to limit global warming, with a goal of keeping it below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

-----The reality is that human activities, especially burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat. This results in a rise in global temperatures, leading to extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves, storms, flooding, and rising sea levels. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we face. If we act now, we can avoid the worst impacts, safeguard the planet, and build a sustainable future. The more delay there is, the worse it is.
