Do you want your family and future generations to have somewhere to live safely? Good Morning, I am Jayden Rachmaninoff and I am here to reach out to you about global warming and climate change because I need your help to help make a difference. What causes climate change and global warming you may be asking? According to dictionary.com climate change is, “a long-term change in the earth’s climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature.” Climate change is caused by many different effects that humans have created.
Do you know what effects you are causing? The greenhouse effect is one of the biggest effects that humans have caused. According to Britannica kids, ‘The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface and the air above it and is caused by gases in the air that traps energy from the Sun.’ The greenhouse effect gasses are caused by people burning too many fossil fuels like natural gasses, oil, and coal which are increasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Too much of these gasses released into the atmosphere can cause the earth to trap more and more heat which can cause the earth to heat up. I have noticed that the earth warming up, has shortened the time I can go snow skiing as the snow is melting earlier. This brings me to my third and final point caused by global warming, deforestation, yes, another cause caused by humans. Yes, did you hear that another cause of global warming caused by humans? (Don’t talk for 5 seconds) Deforestation is the huge number of trees being cut down for farming wood or clearing land for farms. According to ‘The Under Story’ every year between 3.5 billion and 7.5 billion trees are cut down. This is a huge problem because the massive numbers of fossil fuels being burnt cause carbon dioxide and there are not enough trees to change it all back to oxygen. You all can join groups that help establish trees all over our country like 20 million trees and green army.
What are the effects of global warming and how will it impact our future? This January was the hottest-ever month recorded in our country according to the Bureau of Meteorology and according to the climate council, there were over 208 records broken. This has caused glaciers to start shrinking, ice to break up and melt earlier than usual and trees are flower earlier. According to NASA sea levels are rising 3.2 millimeters per year and are growing every year. This is due to ice sheets and glaciers melting and the expansion of seawater as it heats up. This will eventually cause coastal flooding and loss of homes and land and this would ruin the great Aussie tradition of going to the beach as there would be no beach. Just imagine a summer without going to the beach, it wouldn’t be the same. A further effect of global warming is drought. Drought has been happening in the 2000s where there is little or no rain and this leaves farmers with dead crops and animals and rural areas with no water. The crisp dry paddocks are in unbearably bad conditions that if you were to fall over you would break your knee!! This can lead to whole farms and industries collapsing. If you have been to the shops lately the prices of fruit and vegetable have gone through the roof as farms are struggling to even grow weeds!! A final example of the effects of global warming is fish and coral reefs dying because of warm water temperatures and low water levels. This is evident through 2 incidents. One of which is the Darling river in Australia where millions of fish died because of low water levels. The second is that I have found that when I have been going snorkeling there are been a lot of dead coral and not much sea life the other day I saw these horrible statistics that National Geographic released; over half of the great barrier reef is dead thanks to bleaching which has been caused by the ocean water temperature rising!!! (Don’t talk for 5 seconds) Poor helpless sea animals will have to leave their reefs and find new ones. Scientists have found that by 2050 90% of the world’s coral will be dead at this rate of global warming. Now you may be wondering, how can we solve this and what are some solutions to these horrible problems? Everyone can make a difference to help fix climate change.
To solve the problem of global warming you can cut down on burning coal and gases, you can use more renewable and environmentally friendly ways to make energy like installing solar panels on your roof or buying wind energy, you can buy energy-efficient appliances for your house and you can do this by looking at your Energy star label. I have changed all of my house’s appliances from 3 to 5 stars and I have also recently installed solar panels the amount of money that we have saved has been incredible. Everyone can act to help address and adapt to climate change Another simple way to take your part in fixing global warming which may sound silly is by saving water. This can be as easy as taking a shorter shower or even just switching your tap off while you brush your teeth. I have walked into the school bathrooms and have seen taps left on wasting valuable water. The biggest and most effective way to help solve the problem of global warming is to speak up. Tell your friends and family, to put in social media, it is your job to help save our world and everyone can make a difference!! We shall now all know how global warming is created We shall now all start helping to fix global warming We shall now all start to make a difference So, do you want your grandkids or even kids to have a safe place to live? Not fighting for their life with natural disasters coming weekly or having no water. Well act now and help make a difference before it is too late. Thank you.
