Climate Change:

Climate is the average weather over a longer length of time in a particular place.

A description of a climate includes details such as the typical temperature in each

season, the amount of rainfall, and the amount of sunshine. Every element of our life is

impacted by the climate, including where our food comes from, the choices we must

make for the way we dress, and places que would like to visit. Climate can change our

health, the way we survive and future generations. The cause of our constant climate

change is caused by us human beings, and some does not realize that the change is

changing our lives. It is happening slowly, and it will accumulate, and we need to

understand that our climate is changing.

There are many elements that can influence and affect our climate. Elements like

the location, can influence the way the climate will work. For example, if you live near

the ocean, the climate will be different from a person who lives near the mountains.

Another element that can influence how the climate behaves is the atmosphere. The

atmosphere is a layer of gases that surround our planet. Those gases get trapped in our

atmosphere when the heat of the sun Is too much, these gases, greenhouse gases,

cannot get out beyond our atmosphere, so it stays. This is dangerous, because they

harm our ozone layer, which protect us from direct ultraviolet rays. Some examples of

greenhouse gases are methane, ozone, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. The gases

stay trapped, and our climate get hotter and consequently harms our atmosphere.

Climate change can be defined as a long-term change in the typical weather

patterns that have come to characterize local, regional, and global climates on Earth.

This change in our planet is caused by activities that we as human make. One of this
activity is the contamination and the excessive amount of burning fuels in various parts

of the world. This irresponsibility on the hands of us humans, bring a negative effect to

our environment. By raising the concentrations of heat in our atmosphere, the

temperature rises too. the process that our planet Earth must go through has been

interrupted by humans through many years and it cannot keep up with all the

destruction we have made. We have interrupted natural process that our environment

needs to go thought to keep on growing and providing to the living organisms. There is

no balance between taking from our environment and helping it heal. To track and

research past, present, and future climate change, scientists employ computer models

and data from the ground, the air, and space. Climate changes can be studied and seen

on wildfires, floods hurricanes and other natural phenomenon that are being extended in

great masses and force.

Global warming is a similar concept to climate change, it is part of it. Global

warming is the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and ocean surface is

rising over time due to global warming. Our planet Erath warms up more, as if it were a

greenhouse, as more heat from the Sun is trapped in it. Solar radiation, deforestation,

combustion, and radiation back to earth are all effects of global warming. Global

warming is like climate change, but these two phenomena are different. Climate change

is caused by natural process that are internal like volcanic eruptions and from

mistreatment in the hands of human beings. Global warming is causes by the increase

of greenhouse effect that is caused by human beings.

Global warming not only affect our planet and living organism, but it also has a

negative effect in the world economy. According to experts, global warming and
extreme weather conditions are already harming the world economy and, if it continues

to worsen, will push millions more people into poverty, increase food prices and affect

international trade and labor markets. Economic damage from climate change has been

detected in climate-exposed sectors, with regional effects on agriculture, forestry,

fisheries, energy and tourism and through outdoor labor productivity. Many people have

been affected by changes in agricultural productivity, impacts on human health and food

security, destruction of housing and infrastructure, and loss of property and income, with

adverse effects on gender and social equity.

Many of the problems and destruction of our environment was seen during the

documentary we saw. It shows many events that climate change and global warming

has caused. It was seen that the floods that are happening with more frequency have

destroyed homes and entire cities. Another example is what happened in Paris, France

which The Paris Agreement was made, It is an international treaty on climate change

and Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2. It is a documentary that showed

us all the consequences that man kind has been doing for many years and our planet

cannot keep up.

Our planet Earth needs help to heal and get fully functioning as it was created.

Some may think there is no hope, or it is too late. But experts and many people have

faith in this new generation. If all the countries and people work together to protect and

help heal our home, it can be done. Climate change is changing our lives and affecting

what we must survive. The same thing global warming is doing. We all know the main

problem, so we must resolve it in a manner that everyone is cooperating. Climate

change affects us all. The potential impact is huge, with predicted shortages of clean
water, major changes in conditions for food production, and increased mortality rates

due to floods, storms, droughts, and heat waves.
