Rising Temperatures: A World That Is Warming Up

Important Facts
1. Global Warming by 1.1 Degrees: The average temperature around the world has gone up by 1.1 degrees since the 1800s.
2. Weather Events: Since the 1960s, there have been more than three heatwaves, droughts, and even heavy rain events each year.
3. Wilder Wildfires: As temperatures rise around the world, more wildfires happen and get worse. In certain regions, the summer season has extended by 20% (NASA).
4. Wildfires Gone Wild: Canada had its worst wildfire season ever in 2023, when over 18.4 million hectares of land were burned, which is more than seven times the average in a year (NASA Earth Observatory).
5. Fires in the Amazon Rainforest: The Amazon, which is known as the "lungs of the world," has always been a place where many trees are cut down. Now, climate change and other factors have made the number of fires rise. As of 2023, more than 120,000 fire alarms were logged, which is crazy (INPE, Brazil's National Institute for Space Research).
6. Wildfires in California: In the US, California has seen 75 more days of wildfires since the 1970s than it does now. The state's worst wildfires occurred in 2020, with five of the six largest fires in state history taking place that year (Cal Fire).
7. Forest fires in Siberia: There have been terrible forest fires in some Russian Siberian woods. The layers of ice and the hot ground below have trapped some individuals. These fires are releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the upper atmosphere, which is a major concern (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service).
Giving to others and Greenpeace
The main things that cause greenhouse gases to rise and rise are:
1. Use of Fossil Fuels: Recently, there has been a clear rise in the use of coal, oil, and gas for energy.
2. Two changes in land use are the removal of trees and, in some cases, the cultivation of land.
3. Effects on Living Things and Ecosystems.
The main cause of global warming is extreme changes in weather, which have upset the natural balance. We are very affected by
1. Ecosystem Disruption: Further adjustments are happening to plants and animals, which hurts or kills creatures nearby.
2. Public Health: It's clear that global warming has a big impact on public health.
Rising temperatures will destroy our world so badly that we can't fix it. Fortunately, we have the ability to halt climate change.
1. Utilizing Renewable Energy: You can use energy sources other than fossil fuels.
2. Energy efficiency means making buildings, transportation, and business use less energy. "We can protect our future and the planet for future generations if we work together in ways that are good for the environment."
