Climate change is about:
The article is a description of climate change and how the European Union is working actively for a global agreement to control climate change and is taking domestic action to achieve substantial reductions in its own contribution.The article tells us why we should care about climate change.
I learned that:
Climate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet.The Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 0.76° C since 1850.Over the past fifty years most of the warming is cause by emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases from the human activities. If Earth heats by another four degrees Celsius,the planet we call home would become a very unwelcoming place.Oceans have risen by at least a metre, drowning several island nations.Polar bears are a folk memory, starved to extinction in an Arctic where temperatures have soared by 15 C (27 F), nearly four-fold the global average.
My Reflection:
I think that everyone should help to slow down the rate of global warming, as everyone has a part to play to prevent global warming.the climate is changing and human behaviour is responsible. In particular increased industrial activity is releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere.We should take steps now to stem the output of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so that we can slow climate change. Many people argue that the problem is so big that they cannot make a difference.
