When you hear the words ‘Climate change’, I bet the first few images that come to your mind consist of huge glaciers melting, the Earth being surrounded by a blanket that’s a little too warm for its inhabitants and dried up lands. Well, Climate change, according to NASA, is a change in average conditions and temperatures in a region over a specific period of time. This is actually a ramification of the Greenhouse Effect, or, as you might call it, Global Warming. The Sun’s radiation gets trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere (this is attributed by the gases in the atmosphere like methane, CO2, etc.) and this heat is distributed around an area, leading to abnormal temperatures, weather, natural activity, etc. The effects of Climate change are drastic and continue to become alarmingly significant. Higher temperatures mean more ice will melt, which will lead to rise in water levels and a loss of habitat for the fauna that consider the ice their home. Natural disasters and events like droughts, storms, heat waves will intensify in terms of effect and occurrence, causing problems not only for the flora and fauna but humans too. The costs to repair the damage done by the effects of climate change will increase over time, and an example can be seen in the fact that hurricanes will become stronger and more intense over time, and repairing the destruction will cost quite the amount. In addition, people themselves will be affected not just by the natural disasters, but also by the knowledge about this whole issue. They will be worried about their future, their family’s future, humanity’s future, and they have every right to! But if we hope to reverse or decelerate the effects of Climate change, we are going to have to change ourselves first. We are going to have to change the way we travel, the way we live, and we’re going to have to do this on a large scale to make an impact. Many countries have already begun changing themselves to save their future, and people around the world are making a change through protests and many other ways. It may seem like an impossible task, but if we all work together, we can do it! It is with small bricks that a building is built. It is with small atoms that a whole body or object is created. It is a small step that leads to a whole journey. It’s our world, our home, and our future. If we’re going to change the future, we’re going to have to start by changing ourselves.
