🌍 Climate Change and Global Warming: A Call to Action

The Earth is heating up — and it's not just a phase. 🌡️

🌡️ What Is Global Warming?

Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to increased levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). These gases trap heat in our atmosphere, much like a greenhouse keeps plants warm.

🌪️ What Is Climate Change?

Climate change is broader. It includes global warming but also refers to changing weather patterns, more intense storms, rising sea levels 🌊, melting glaciers 🧊, and shifting wildlife habitats. It's a chain reaction — and it’s affecting us all.

🛑 Why Should We Care?

• 🔥 Hotter temperatures are leading to wildfires, heatwaves, and droughts.

• 🌊 Melting ice caps are causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal cities.

• 🐝 Biodiversity is in danger, as plants and animals struggle to adapt.

• 🏥 Health risks from air pollution and new diseases are increasing.

🌱 What Can We Do?

Even small changes make a difference:

• 🚲 Choose bikes, walking, or public transport over cars.

• 💡 Use energy-efficient appliances.

• 🛍️ Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

• 🥦 Eat more plant-based foods and waste less.

• 🌳 Plant trees and support reforestation efforts.
