PART B_2

Long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns are referred to as “climate change.” It’s said that much of this is because of burning fuels. Carbon dioxide is released when coal, oil, gas, and other fuels are burned, and this causes global warming.

Due to climate change, the ocean level is rising and the glaciers are melting. Forests and wildlife are disappearing as CO2 levels in the atmosphere are rising. Also, marine life is being harmed. If this situation continues, plant and animal species will go extinct. We must rescue the planet and our future. Instead of ignoring these problems, we must begin to address them.
