Climate change is measured through Earth-orbiting satellites and other technology. Scientists look at Earth\u2019s land, air, water, and ice to judge Earth\u2019s climate. They also consider the Sun and the energy it sends out to Earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33772\" src=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth-300x289.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth-48x46.jpg 48w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/earth.jpg 418w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earth\u2019s climate is always changing. There are natural changes that can result from Earth\u2019s distance to the Sun or a volcano erupting. However, the current warming trend is undoubtedly attributed to human activity. Humans drive cars, cook food, and heat and cool their homes. These actions release gasses into the atmosphere that can cause the air to heat up, changing the climate of an area. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are some of the main greenhouse gas emitters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Impacts of Climate Change<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who study climate change have noted that Earth\u2019s climate has shown significant increase in temperature in the last 100 years. The Earth\u2019s surface temperature has increased by two degrees Fahrenheit (one degrees Celsius) since 1906. The last decade actually marks the warmest temperature Earth has ever reached. Although this temperature increase might seem small, even a small rise like this can have a huge, negative impact around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The added heat is causing global warming. Glaciers and sea ice are melting, precipitation patterns are changing, and floods are occurring more frequently. There are droughts in some areas, increasing wildfires, loss of crops, and water shortages. Trees and corals are being killed off, taking away food and habitats for wildlife. Humans and wildlife are being forced to migrate to other areas in order to survive these severe changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33774 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-500x339.jpg 500w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground-48x33.jpg 48w, https:\/\/nstem.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ground.jpg 572w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>We Need to Adapt<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural systems are being disrupted due to climate change and if we do not start taking action now, things will continue to get worse. If we continue the way we have been, natural disasters will become worse, there will be more droughts and heat waves across the world, and some species will become extinct. The impacts of climate change can become more complex and more difficult to manage the longer we do not make changes to our habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are things we can do as a society to slow the effects of climate change. We can restore wetlands and other natural habitats in flood plains to reduce the amount of floods. We can conserve mangroves to protect shorelines from storms. We can protect marine life by reducing overfishing. We can improve soil health to increase agriculture resilience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, we have to avoid \u201cmaladaptation\u201d. We cannot adapt to impacts of climate change and not take the steps to eliminate what causes it. This means we need to work on decreasing our greenhouse gas emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it is the industrial sector causing most emissions, big corporations need to lower their carbon footprint. They should burn less fossil fuels and use renewable energy. Although, individuals can make a difference as well! Use rooftop solar panels. Plant some trees. Decrease your energy and water usage. Turn off the lights when you do not need them. Do not run water when it is not directly in use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People across the globe need to work together to help Earth in fighting climate change and even taking small steps like these can be of big help!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By: Amanda Aber<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written On: 3\/24\/22<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citations<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dunbar, B.
