What is the Climate Change?
Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns. These changes can be natural, for example, through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 19th century, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
The burning of fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures. Some examples of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change are carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline to drive a car or coal to heat a building, to give some examples. Clearing land and forests can also release carbon dioxide. Landfills are a major source of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and land use are among the top emitters.
Greenhouse gas concentrations are at their highest level in 2 million years and emissions continue to rise. As a result, the Earth’s temperature is now 1.1°C higher than it was at the end of the 19th century. The last decade (2011–2020) was the warmest on record.
Many people think that climate change mainly means warmer temperatures. But the rise in temperature is only the beginning of the story. Since the Earth is a system, in which everything is connected, changes in one area can influence changes in all the others.
The consequences of climate change, include, but are not limited to, intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, sea level rise, floods, melting ice at the poles, catastrophic storms, and decreased biodiversity.
Coorest, Xave World and Uptrend join forces to promote a movement that aims to generate an environment of entertainment and awareness of sustainability, caring for the planet, generating oxygen and contributing to the reduction of CO2.
NFTrees will be officially launched on March 15, 2023.
