-Present-day climate change includes both global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its wider effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate.
Human activities like overuse of resources, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation are accelerating climate change, causing increased disasters and destroying ecosystems. Despite the urgent need for action, wealth is often prioritized over the environment. The earth will become a wasteland with no greenery, little water, and overly polluted if we don't act. Systemic change is needed, including policies promoting renewable energy, pressure on businesses to reduce carbon footprints, and encouraging consumers to make responsible consumption decisions.
"The earth doesn't need us, we need the earth"
