The biggest reason for global climate change is because of humans. Humans have caused the majority of observed global surface temperature from 1951 to 2010. The greenhouse effect is a major reason for climate change. This effect is when gasses get trapped in the atmosphere of the Earth, which leads to warmer weather and pollution. Factories are a huge problem for changes in temperature atound the world. Especially the ones that burn fossil fuels and oil because these let off gasses that alter the temperature. Because of these changes it affects sea levels, crops, and cold regions.

Climate change has been a problem for many years. The effects it has in the world we live in are quite alarming. Animals, intense heat waves, and plants growing at different times now are just some of the consequences due to climate change.

Climate change is affecting animals is a number of ways. Animals have changed their migrating patterns which in turn effects more. For example, fitness and population of animals changes because of the different migration patterns. Arrival and hatching dates are altered as well because the temperature isn’t right.

Intense heat waves are also effecting the world. Regular summer days are getting hotter and colder days are lessening. There have also been increases in heat waves which are lasting longer as well. Productivity in outdoor jobs also slows down due to increase in temperature.

Lastly, plants and trees also take effect to climate change. Freezing temperatures are at different times now which could kill or lessen the time of the plant or tree. Decrease in water availability effects the richness of soil too.
