Climate change is the long-term climatic effect of global warming. It is frequently described as a statistically significant increase in the Earth's surface temperature that is mostly caused by human activity.

The main driver of climate change, heat escaping back into space, is prevented by rising amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. However, it's realistic to anticipate that given that these gases might linger in the atmosphere for years or decades before spontaneously decomposing. Therefore, it makes sense that there will be effects such as extremely high temperatures and melting glaciers over the next several million years if we continue to pump them into our atmosphere.

Over 50% of greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to agriculture, particularly animal farming. Therefore, finding a means to lessen our dependency on meat meals and other animal products is the single biggest issue we have in fighting climate change. The two major concerns that need to be addressed in order to stop the worst consequences of climate change before it is too late are transportation and deforestation/deforestation, which together are the most significant drivers of climate change at current moment.

For both people and animals, climate warming has far-reaching and disastrous effects. Extreme weather events that result in crop failure, flooding, freshwater shortages, desertification, and the extinction of particular plant and animal species are negative effects of climate change. Changes in climate have a detrimental effect on human health and agriculture, with a clear correlation between heat stress, respiratory issues, the spread of infectious diseases, and undernutrition and malnutrition.

If we don't find a solution to this issue, it will have disastrous effects on all species on Earth, thus we must do everything we can to safeguard our planet from climate change. With a strong global political commitment through international agreements on emission reduction targets for CO2 emissions from both developed and developing countries alike, there are solutions available ranging from straightforward lifestyle changes to systemic stabilization or mitigation measures without the use of geoengineering techniques at this early stage in order to not exacerbate existing climate change.

In addition to other things that may appear unrelated but are tied into climate change in ways that we can't even yet comprehend, things like wildlife conservation and reclamation of areas that may become uninhabitable in the future, such as wetlands or forests if they are underwater (like parts of Bangladesh), will play an essential role in protecting the natural world. Therefore, act now because if we wait any longer, it will be too late to accomplish anything.
