Climate change by Langiola

  I am learning to write an explanation. I understand that explanation is written in the third person, non-fiction/facts and written in presentence. It is kind of hard because you have to search for the facts before you could write an explanation but because we read about it and it was also our focus so it looks a bit easier.  

WALT write an explanation about climate change

How is climate change affecting our world?

Climate is what we expect. Climate is the average weather conditions of a particular region or country for a long period of time, approximately 30 years. Climate change started a long time ago as a result of nature’s activity such as volcanic eruption but now has been boosted by human activities such as the industrial revolution. 

Firstly, the industry requires a lot of energy, and it came from burning coal, a fossil fuel that releases greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide. Burning fossil fuels for electricity and transportation remains the largest single source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Climate change is affecting our world with more frequent and intense storms, flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, and heat waves. As climate change worsens, dangerous weather events are becoming more frequent or severe.

Next, the impact of climate change, if the world's greenhouse gas emissions continue at the current rate, Earth’s climate will completely change significantly. The changing of the environment is expected to cause more heat stress, an increase in waterborne diseases, poor air quality, and diseases transmitted by insects. Extreme weather events can compound many of these health threats.

Thirdly, people and climate change, the way people live produce only a very small amount of greenhouse gases. Then came the industrial revolution, when large factories were built and cities around the world grew rapidly. Trees help keep our most problematic greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere.

In conclusion, climate change matters because it describes a change in the average conditions, such as temperature and rainfall, in a region over a long period of time. It informs us that what we do affects our environment badly and we can do something about it. Climate change occurs because of human activities like cutting down trees, driving cars and factories because there are lots of gases released into the atmosphere which heated our planet.
