Climate change is the change in regional climate patterns. For example loss of sea ice, intense heat waves, high rising sea waters, etc. If you look forward to spending more money, rising temperatures, more intense droughts along with many other effects then maybe climate change is for you, but most people probably don't want to spend more money to save their home. In our midwestern area of the United States we would experience heavy downpours resulting in floods, agriculture will become harder, air and water quality will suffer. Great Lakes, what this area is mostly known for will go under a wide range of risks. What can I do? There is more things you can do to help climate change than you think, the more people that do little things will add up and it will decrease the problems in our atmosphere. Between 2% and 6% of Americans identify as vegetarians and the percentage of vegetarians has increased immensely since 2013. Secondly is the rule of the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Reduce the use of non reusable subjects, for some that may be a challenge but dare to take that step and help the environment. For the reusable objects, reuse! If you are unable to reduce and/or reuse the final thing you can do if recycle. Recycling has many different benefits, to human beings, animals, and the environment.The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has done heavy testing and experimenting with climate change since 2007. And they’ve discovered many new things such as what an average person can do to help. There is so much more to learn about climate change and it may be very useful to you one day. Climate change is definitely something that you could one day pursue a career in and help others. Learning about your environment is very important and is greatly recommended by many people.
