Why you need to care about climate change – now

Scientists are tracking more calories, stronger heat, and longer drought periods all over the world

Human activities - primarily fossil fuel burning and deforestation - have resulted in an increase in the world's average temperature. This is global warming

A warm atmosphere can cause climate change and changes in normal climate patterns. This deviation may lead to bad weather

Hot air increases the evaporation of the ocean. A warmer atmosphere can also hold more water, which can exacerbate weather events

The heat wave is stronger. The storm surge is further rising. Blizzard brings more snowfall. Since 1970, the number of natural disasters has more than tripled - 90% of which is related to the weather

The condition of this change is that coral reefs are dead. The forest is collapsing. An Arctic animal like a polar bear is losing sea ice they call a house

I also feel this effect. Climate change threatens our agriculture, health, water supply, infrastructure etc.

But as climate change experts say everyone, climate change is not a problem in the future - it is a problem now. It is important to talk about how climate change affects natural landscapes and health, but when the world joins efforts to (almost) suppress climate change, let's discuss what it did. For our mental health

A reader with a knowledgeable climate is not a small audience. Yale University Climate Communication Program has been studying American perception of climate change for many years. As of March 2016, 45% of Americans were deeply concerned about climate change and it turned out that 19% of American voters are already "shocked" to climate change. These people take the fundamental understanding of climate change as a problem and are afraid. They thought this was a serious crisis, they now feel their influence, they support the real change

People who care about climate problems tend to say that climate scientists are more familiar with climate scientists than if they are changing (64% are interested in 23% of people, 7% I do not mind.) About half (52%) of those deeply interested in climate issues are climate scientists who are aware of the cause of climate change, while only 19% are paying personal attention There are only 8% who do not give personal attention. problem
