Issue Research

The issue that I'm researching is climate change.

Climate is changing constantly and the global temperature is rising faster and faster. It not only affects human being, animals and even all living organisms, but also affects ecosystem, economies and communities.

Climate change involves natural causes and human causes. Two factors of contemporary climate change are changes in volcanic activities and changes in solar radiation. In terms of the earth's energy balance, these factors influence the amount of incoming energy. Volcanic eruption are episodic and have relatively short-term effects on climate change. Changes in solar radiation have influenced the climate over the past centuries. Since the industrial revolution, human have produced large amount of greenhouse gases to atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. The build-up of  greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to an enhancement of natural greenhouse effect. Human will continuing contribute to the greenhouse effect and warm our planet's temperature.

Climate change has lots of impacts on human and society. For example: rising temperature causes some regions experience extreme heat while other regions experience slightly cold. Also, other disasters, such as flooding, drought, violent storms can also cause lots of deaths of people. Climate change also impacts water resources. Water is tied tightly to other resources and social issues, such as food supply, health, industry, transportation and ecosystem. Once water and food are affected, human will be in a dangerous situation. It's very serious, climate change not only affects us, but also affects our generations. If we keep warming our planet, earth will finally be destroyed!

In order to reduce the rising in temperature, we can choose using renewable energy than fossil fuels. As students, we can walk or bike to school instead of taking cars or buses. When we are at home, we can turn off the light as soon as possible whenever we do not use it. There are lots of things that we can do to reduce the global warming.

  1. Climate change is very serious, I been taught that climate change is happening since elementary school, but still, we can't fix this problem. This article is well written with facts and examples, good job!
