Yes, climate change is real. It is also caused primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels. Human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Due to the large amounts of carbon dioxide and other gasses, it has caused the temperature on the Earth’s surface to rise. “Human activities currently release over 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year” (epa.gov). But the only way the gasses got released into the atmosphere was from human activities. “Rather, it is extremely likely (> 95%) that human activities have been the dominant cause of that warming” (epa.gov).
Climate change is one of the biggest problems we have in the world today. It is defined as "long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns". Climate change can cause a lot of things such as droughts, severe storms, warmer temperatures, and rising oceans. This is really happening today and humans should be the ones to stop climate change from getting worse because humans are the ones who caused it. It is true that humans have caused climate change because of burning fossil fuels and chopping down trees. Humans really should start taking action to stop climate change. 2023 was the warmest year in 100,000 years ever put in record as said by the World Meteorological Organization. Cases of greenhouse gases, surface temperature, droughts, and even ocean heat acidification have increased. Not only did Climate change contribute to the economic losses such as heatwaves and floods, causing billions of dollars in damage. In Antartica, glaciers melting also means wildlife is suffering. In Taiwan, people have to turn on their air con’s or fan’s, however it is only spring. The spring that we know of today, is nothing compared to what spring was like in the past years.
