FAQ
Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other aspects of the Earth’s climate system. It primarily involves a significant increase in global average temperatures due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
Yes, climate change is real. It is supported by extensive scientific evidence from climate models, temperature records, and observations of environmental changes. Major scientific organizations and bodies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and NASA, confirm that climate change is occurring and that human activities are a significant driver.
Actions to combat climate change include:
- Reducing Emissions: Lower greenhouse gas emissions by using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and reducing fossil fuel use.
- Conserving Energy: Implement energy-saving measures in homes and businesses.
- Supporting Sustainable Practices: Promote and support sustainable agriculture, transportation, and waste management.
- Advocating for Policy Change: Support and advocate for policies and regulations that address climate change and promote sustainability.
- Educating Others: Raise awareness about climate change and encourage others to take action.
While we may not be able to fully reverse climate change, we can mitigate its effects and limit further damage. This involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate resilience, and investing in sustainable practices. Mitigation and adaptation efforts can help manage the impacts and support a transition to a more sustainable future.
