The document discusses climate change and its effects. It notes that compared to natural changes over the past 10,000 years, the spike in CO2 and CH4 concentrations over the past 250 years is extraordinary. It also discusses current events related to climate change, such as declining fish populations, increasing heat waves, and unprecedented wildfires in the Arctic region. Finally, it provides some suggestions for attacking climate change, such as investing in renewable energy and being politically active.

5. Research: Climate Change Current Events
• Fish populations are already declining in many regions as warming waters throw marine
ecosystems into disarray.
• Heatwaves, which were the deadliest meteorological hazard in the 2015-2019 period, affecting all
continents and resulting in numerous new temperature records.
• Summer 2019 saw unprecedented wildfires in the Arctic region. In June alone, these fires emitted
50 megatons (Mt) of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
