Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.Global climate change is caused by humans.
Reason: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases.
2.Climate change have also been observed to impact human health, including that of allergic individuals.
Reason: Climate change increases the risk of illness through increasing temperature, more frequent heavy rains and runoff, and the effects of storms. Health impacts may include gastrointestinal illness like diarrhea, effects on the body's nervous and respiratory systems, or liver and kidney damage
3.Many activists and politicians wam us that we have unti 2030 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero before global warming hits a point of no retum- a point were irreparable damage is done to our planet.
Reason:We often hear that we have just over a decade to turn greenhouse gas emissions around and avoid the worst effects of climate change.
