Climate change is caused by rising global temperatures over time due to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. If left unaddressed, climate change will have severe consequences like more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and displacement of populations. Several organizations are working to fight climate change through activism, lobbying, and raising public awareness on solutions like a carbon tax, emissions reductions, nuclear energy, electing supportive officials, and promoting sustainability. The presentation concludes by inviting questions and comments on addressing climate change.
