CLIMATE CATASTROPHE
Have you ever considered a world without peace ? A world without nature . A world with diseases a hopeless world . If we continue climate change these will be real in the future . Actually it ' s happening right now . Diseases are spreading across countries , ice is melting from Antartica and northern parts of the world , hundreds of species go extinct every day and it ’ s all because of us humans . Climate change is a serious problem and we should stop it , we must stop it .
Greenhouse gases keep world warm from outer space . But as we keep using fossil fuels and products that causes climate change we create more greenhouse gas . Earth gets warmer and warmer day by day because of greenhouse gases . Last ten years we have recorded the top ten warmest years since we started on 1950s . Earth is getting warmer .
Huge ice parts of Antartica melts because of Earth getting warmer . 400,000,000 tons of ice melt every year . When these ice melt sea level of world rises and there would be enormous floods enough to get many cities that we live in . If you are not near to a sea don ' t be happy because of climate change there won ' t be enough water in if you ' re not near to a sea . And these floods are not the only disasters . For example according to the website A student ’ s guide to climate change “ One of the effect of climate change is heat waves and hurricanes .” Sea level had risen 17 cm in the last century . Our sea level are rising because of climate change .
The products we use that causes greenhouse gases is bigger than we think . Furniture like fridge or washing machines creates climate change too . We use fossil fuels while creating electricity and fossil fuels creates huge amounts of carbon dioxide that is one of greenhouse gases . Carbon dioxide comes from cars , trucks , ships , planes etc . while we are burning fossil fuels to make them move . We are using so much products that causes climate change .
But the biggest cause of climate change is meat consumption . Meat comes from farm animals that we raised for food animal agriculture . These farm animals use % 45 of our land and conserves ⅓ of our fresh water . To make meat out of those animals we use tons of water , big areas and while making the meat , animals cause waste and methane . Because of these wastes comes from farm animals dead zones in oceans are created to put the waste . And these wastes cause methane one of the greenhouse gases . For example according to a video from YouTube named Fight Climate Change , Eat Less Meat “ Each cow emits 65 gallons of methane every day .” Transportation of these animals causes greenhouse gases too . We should stop eating this much meat to stop climate change .
What can we do ? We can stop it . We can go to near places with bike . We can use electrical cars . We can get our electricity from renewable energy sources like solar panels , wind and sea wave energy . We can use less products that causes climate change or we can use alternative ways to make our daily jobs without them . We can prefer eating vegetables more than meat . If we want to these things we must stop some of our daily habits . Climate change is a serious problem that we must stop . It ' s in our hands to save our planet or continue killing it .
