"Responding to Climate Change"

          In the past decades, it has been called everything from the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind to the greatest challenge to face man. They have been conventions and conferences. Thousands of scientists have released studies, statements and reports documenting its harmful and possibly even apocalyptic consequences for all the world's biodiversity. This issue at hand is called the Climate Change, and it has literally and figuratively taken every corner of our world by storms.
          Climate Change is a problem that is affecting people and likewise the environment. Greater energy efficiency and new technologies may hold promise for reducing greenhouse gases and solving this global challenge. These greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. Climate change affects more than just a change in the weather, but it also refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. A change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks.
          Responding to Climate Change is no longer being observed by most scientist and people of all backgrounds are now taking steps to mitigate their own impacts on the environment. Because of this climate change, Earth is in an ongoing phase of global warming caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect due to the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.Climate change, therefore happens because of our own faults, activities and attitudes, and for that, we should avoid doing things which are not good for the sake of our beloved Mother Earth.
