• ·       Deforestation
• ·         Disproportionate increase in greenhouse gases
• ·         Accelerated population growth

Greenhouse gas concentrations are at their highest level in two million years and emissions continue to rise. As a result, the Earth's temperature is now 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than it was at the end of the 19th century, the UN says.

Some of the effects of climate change are: melting of the polar caps and glaciers; water scarcity; sea ​​level rise; stronger hurricanes; and more intense storms 

 

What everyone should do is reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. the weather is already a bit upset. We don't need to wait decades.
