2. Climate is the statistics of weather over
long periods of time. It is measured by
assessing the patterns of variation
in temperature, humidity, atmospheric
pressure, wind, precipitation,
atmospheric particle count and
other meteorological variables in a
given region over long periods of time.

3. Climate change may refer to a change in average
weather conditions, or in the time variation of
weather within the context of longer-term average
conditions. Climate change is caused by factors such
as biotic processes, variations in solar
radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics,
and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities
have been identified as primary causes of ongoing
climate change, often referred to as global warming.

5.  Human activity is the main cause of climate change.
People burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests
to agriculture. Since the beginning of the Industrial
Revolution, people have burned more and more
fossil fuels and changed vast areas of land from
forests to farmland.
 Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a
greenhouse gas. It is called a greenhouse gas because
it produces a “greenhouse effect”. The greenhouse
effect makes the earth warmer, just as a greenhouse
is warmer than its surroundings.
 Carbon dioxide is the main cause of human-induced
climate change.

6.  Climate change affects all regions around the world.
Polar ice shields are melting and the sea is rising. In
some regions extreme weather events and rainfall are
becoming more common while others are
experiencing more extreme heat waves and
droughts.
 These impacts are expected to intensify in the coming
decades.

8. COSTS FOR SOCIETY AND ECONOMY
 Damage to property and infrastructure and to human
health imposes heavy costs on society and the economy.
 Between 1980 and 2011 floods affected more than 5.5
million people and caused direct economic losses of
more than €90 billion.
RISKS FOR WILDLIFE
 Climate change is happening so fast that many plants
and animal species are struggling to cope.
 Many terrestrial, freshwater and marine species have
already moved to new locations. Some plant and animal
species will be at increased risk of extinction if global
average temperatures continue to rise unchecked.

10.  In 2015 USA’s Former President Mr. Barack Obama
said, “No challenge posses a greater threat to future
generations than climate change.”
 Then on April 22nd 2016 World’s major Carbon
emitters including USA and China came together
and ratified the Paris Agreement.
 The Paris Agreement builds upon the Convention
and for the first time brings all nations into a
common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to
combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with
enhanced support to assist developing countries to
do so. As such, it charts a new course in the global
climate effort.

11.  Things changed as USA witnessed a political upset
and Donald Trump became the new President of
USA.
 Donald Trump is a climate change denier who pulled
out of the Paris Agreement and filled top cabinets
and government positions with people who are allies
and key players in the fossil fuel industry.
 Many of them still publically doubt a human effect
on climate change.

13.  Exxon Mobil Corporation is an American
multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered
in Irving, Texas.
 Exxon Mobil knew the consequences but publically
denied.
 Many of Exxon Mobil’s in-house scientists were
working with Government scientists and in their
reports addressed that climate change have a
potential to be both a serious problem for Humanity
and also a serious business challenge.

14.  Dr. Morrel Cohen a senior scientist at Exxon
admitted the concerns about Global Warming and
that they were measuring carbon dioxide
concentration of the atmosphere over the oceans.
 They knew it before most of us and they had time to
do something but instead they went into complete
denial mode.

15.  Planting new trees will quickly reduce the rate of
emission of gases.
 If the population is controlled, then climate change
can also be controlled.
 If you reduce the use of fossil fuels, then the climate
change could be improvised.
 Fossil fuels will be finished in a couple of decades
and it is high time to move towards the renewable
energy.

17.  Climate change is one of the biggest threat to
humanity and we need to accept and adapt to it and
work to counter the effects of climate change.
 There are many steps which every individual can
take in order to control the climate change. A small
step by every person can make a big change.
 We have caused it and we are the one who can save
overselves from this.
