The Climate Change Guide: Your Personal Guide to a Sustainable Future
Climate Change is without doubt, one of mankind's greatest challenges.
However, the reality is that our planet is not at stake, it is the species that dwell on it.
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.

What is Causing This?
We are.
Our production of greenhouse gases has plagued the atmosphere since the dawn of the industrial revolution.
There is now more CO2 in the atmosphere than in the last 600,000 years. Since then, our planet has increasingly warmed as a direct result of the greenhouse effect.
The top ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1998, the hottest one of all was 2010.
More specifically, some of the many causes of this crisis include:
- Transportation
