Climate Change in a
nutshell
Climate change is the
average weather over many years. Climate change is a shift in those average conditions.
The rapid climate
change we are now seeing is caused by humans using oil, gas and coal for their homes,
factories and transport.
When these fossil
fuels burn, they release greenhouse gases and mostly carbon dioxide (CO2.)
These gases trap the sun’s heat and cause the planet’s temperature to rise.
The world is now
about 1.2C warmer than it was in the 19th Century and the amount of
CO2 in the atmosphere has risen by 50%
Did you know every
year representatives from over 2,000 countries meet to discuss how to tackle
climate breakdown. This year’s COP26 as it is referred to as, will be held in
Glasgow. The programme starts on the 1st – 12th November.
Each Nation will
share their plans to cut their carbon emissions.
