To change climate on a global scale, either the amount of heat that is let into the system changes, or the amount of heat that is let out of the system changes. For instance, warming climates are either due to increased heat let into the Earth or a decrease in the amount of heat that is let out of the atmosphere. The heat that enters into the Earth system comes from the Sun. Sunlight travels through space and our atmosphere, heating up the land surface and the oceans. The warmed Earth then releases heat back into the atmosphere. However, the amount of sunlight let into the system is not always the same. However, certain gases in our atmosphere, called greenhouse gases, allow the lower atmosphere to absorb the heat radiated from the Earth’s surface, trapping heat within the Earth system. Greenhouse gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, are an important part of our atmosphere because they keep Earth from becoming an icy sphere with surface temperatures of about 0°F. However, over the past century or so the amounts of greenhouse gases within our atmosphere have been increasing rapidly, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In the past one hundred years global temperatures have been increasing more rapidly than the historic record shows. Scientists believe this accelerated heating of the atmosphere is because increasing amounts of these greenhouse gases trap more and more heat. Climate change is generally a change in weather for example this year when it snow in Halloween and was warm during thanksgiving this is what is consider climate warming.
One issue that is happening due to the climate change is the decrease of species due to the effect on their natural habitats. For example the ice in Antarctica is melting due to change in climate. Many polar bear and other animals have no place to live and are dying out because of this. Not only do the animals in Antarctica suffer because of this so do people. If the ice melts completely it will end up causing a rise in too sea levels. If the sea levels rise the people in danger will be the people living in coastal areas. The coastal countries will be submerged under water and the people living there will have to move different places. Even due do the green house gases release effects the air and plants there are many things that help create climate changes, Such as air pollution water pollution and etc.
In conclusion climate change happens because of change in weather. Climate change can effect us all humans animals. Climate change can destroy our homes animals habitats just our life in genially.

Solutions To The Climate Change
What Can You DO ?
You Can make so many simple changes in your everyday life that help save our plant weather you believe you alone can help. Start by switching the light bulbs you use . By Using Solar powered lights rather then regular light bulbs "this saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide each year" And Even if You cant change your light bulbs Just Turn the TV Off, when your not using it " I Mean Who's watching it when your sleep". HOT SHOWERS You know That when you take those long hot showers how much energy is being used to make your water so steamy hot. Using cold water when washing your clothes and less hot water during showers saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. GO GREEN ! ! Taking Public Transportation Rather Then Using Your Car Every Morning to Work Can Also Help. How About You Take the Bus, Train or Even Walk if you Can. By Simply Not Using Your Car everyday can help stop polluting the air. DID YOU KNOW . . . That There has been Laws banning the production of CFC gases would help to slow down the rate of ozone depletion and global warming ! Making small changes in your everyday life can inspire others to so them self's. RECYCLE bet You heard this a thousands times. but most people don't realize how by putting your gum wrapper in the trash rather then the floor can do SO much to the environment. Recycling and buying recycled goods can save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of your household waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy, resources and landfill space ! The Humankind has raised the earths temperature through out many decades, the different disasters are prove that where killing our plant. I mean is NORMAL for it to snow in the middle of October. Small Changes can do so much . . . . VOLUNTEER if you cant make this small changes how about you take a Saturday off and help clean the parks, or clean the shore closes to you. The biggest way you can help out it by making this simple changes in your life and helping others to do the same. it only takes one person to speak up to make a change.
