Hello,

Hasn’t the cold season extended itself this year? The winter we would get in November and December, this year was extended well into January, as well as February. Now don’t you think this is climate change?

We, the new generation are so used to the good life that numerous gadgets provide for us that we have conveniently forgotten about all the bad effects their use have on our environment. Take for example the use of automobiles.

People just don’t want to use public vehicles or also car pools which that decrease the emission of carbon dioxide to a large extent. We also burst so many crackers which causes pollution. The use of air conditioners, refrigerators, and so on, all cause pollution to rise in the atmosphere which, in turn, causes global warming, resulting in climate change.

Another factor which is causing global warming is decreasing the number of trees. Humans by nature are big show-offs, so they cut trees to make beautiful furniture for their homes and offices. Wood is also used to make paper. As we all know, during the day trees take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, so trees help to decrease the quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase oxygen, which is essential for humans to live. As we keep cutting trees, we also help to increase carbon dioxide, which aids global warming and, in turn, climate change.

So, I would like to conclude that the reason for all climatic changes is we, the humans, and our luxurious lifestyles. If we, the new generation, don’t take care of our Earth and its climate, we will all perish.

And that, too, very soon.
