The climate crisis refers to the significant changes in global weather patterns and temperatures caused by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This leads to an increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat in the atmosphere and result in global warming. As temperatures rise, we experience more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. These changes threaten ecosystems, wildlife, and human communities, leading to issues like food and water scarcity, displacement, and health risks. Addressing the climate crisis requires global cooperation and sustainable practices.
