Climate change is real and caused by human activities like wasting resources and emitting greenhouse gases. As the earth's temperature rises due to climate change, the consequences are severe, including more extreme heat waves, rising sea levels, and threats to human safety and well-being. However, individuals can help address climate change through everyday actions like conserving energy, adopting greener habits, educating others, and getting politically involved in solutions. Reducing energy usage and waste is important, as is supporting policies that mitigate climate change impacts and transition to renewable resources.
