Climate Change

      Climate change is an issue that has to be urgently tackled. Climate change has always been an issue that has been taking over the world, and recently there have been many movements and uprisings that are fighting for its reduce or extinction.    

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history.  Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era, and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. 

But now, the current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human caused.  

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

The evidence that has been demonstrated that correlates to the rapid climate changes go back to sea level rising, global temperature escalating, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, declining arstic sea ice, glacial retreat, extreme climactic events, ocean acidification, among many, many others. 

In order to save our planet from extinction and destruction, action must be taken NOW.
