• Research shows that the increase in global temperature by 2 degrees Celsius can trigger damaging domino effects, such as increasing the intensity of storms, drought, and floods that are more common.
• Since 1880, the average temperature of the earth has increased by around 1 degrees Celsius, and most of the increase in temperature occurred in the 20th century.
• Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, are the main causes of climate change.
• Climate change can affect human health, such as increasing the risk of infectious diseases and respiratory disorders.
• Sea ice at the north pole melts at a worrying level, and most of the sea ice in the region is expected to disappear in 2040.
• Climate change can also affect the global economy, such as causing losses to the agricultural and tourism sectors.
• Forests are large natural carbon absorbers, and deforestation can accelerate climate change.
• Forest fires that are increasingly common can trigger significant carbon release and worsen climate change.
• Increased sea level can threaten tens of millions of people living in coastal areas.
• Green technology, such as renewable energy and electric cars, can help reduce carbon emissions and slow down climate change.
