What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.

1. Can climate change be stopped?

No, climate change cannot be completely stopped — but it can be slowed down. By reducing pollution, using clean energy, and planting trees, we can help protect our planet and reduce the harmful effects.

2. What causes climate change?

Climate change is mostly caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), cutting down forests, and pollution. These actions release greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.

3. Why should young people care about climate change?

Because it affects your future. From the air you breathe to the food you eat, climate change impacts everything. Getting involved now helps protect the world you’ll live in tomorrow.

4. What can I do to fight climate change?

You can take small actions that make a big difference:
– Plant trees 🌱
– Walk or bike instead of using cars 🚲
– Save electricity 💡
– Recycle and reduce waste ♻️
– Spread awareness 📢

5. Is it too late to make a difference?

No! Every action counts. While climate change is a big problem, it’s not too late. The sooner we act, the more we can protect nature, animals, and ourselves.
