The Climate Change Guide

Your Personal Guide to a More Sustainable Future

Climate Change is, without doubt, mankind's greatest challenge and we must act together or else face the consequences.

Already, millions of people are dying each year as a direct result of global warming and air pollution. If no action is taken, this number will only rise drastically in the upcoming decades.

However, the reality is that our planet itself is not at stake, it is the biosphere and the species that dwell in it.

There is now too much evidence to ignore it any longer.

Also, there are many facts of this planetary crisis that are quite alarming to say the least.

The Effects

Already, hundreds of species have been affected and have already started to migrate towards the poles.

Many more will become extinct in the near future.

Unfortunately, there are many more effects that are occurring right now.

For instance, in addition to record high temperatures, there will be an increase in the frequency and ferocity of

• Droughts and Floods
• Dust Storms
  
• Heat Waves
• Hurricanes
  
• Malaria, Dengue Fever, salmonella and other diseases/viruses
• Tornadoes
• Tropical Storms
• Wildfires
  

It will also lead to

• Desertification
• Ocean Acidification
• Melting of Glaciers
• Melting of Polar Ice Caps
• Rising Sea Levels
• Shortages of food and water
• Shrinking Lakes
• Extinction of species
• Wars over natural resources

In truth, this crisis goes even beyond that: it will affect every single ecosystem on the face of this planet by altering

• atmospheric pressure
• cloudiness
• humidity
• precipitation
• temperature
• and wind patterns

What is Causing This?

We are.

Our production of greenhouse gases has plagued the atmosphere since the dawn of the industrial revolution, increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide from 280 to almost 400 ppm.

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than at any time in the last 800,000 years.

Since then, our planet has increasingly warmed as a direct result of the greenhouse effect.

More specifically, some of the many causes of this crisis include:

• Agriculture
• Deforestation
• Transportation
• The Meat Industry
• Manufacturing/Construction
• Power Plants Using Fossil Fuels
• Oil Spills and Other Environmental Disasters
  

What Can We Do?

Fortunately, it is not too late.

There are many ways in which we can help solve the climate crisis.

Some of things we can do include:

• Recycling/Reducing/Reusing
• Composting
• Using Alternative Energy
• Becoming Energy Efficient
• Using Public Transportation More Often
• Consuming Less Meat
• Planting Trees
• Buying Products Locally
  

Furthermore, these actions will provide several benefits to your health and will even save you money.

More importantly, it will help millions of people around the world who are, or will soon be, facing the dire consequences of climate change.
