3. Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps our plant warm enough for life. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methene, and water vapour . These gases allow sunlight to pass through the atmosphere, but trap heat radiating back from the Earth’s surface.

4. Human Activities Causing Climate Change Burning fossil fuels(coal, oil, natural gas): This releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Deforestation: Cutting down trees reduces the Earth’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Agricultural practices: Livestock produce methene, a potent greenhouse gas. Industrial processes: Manufacturing and other industries release various greenhouse gases.

5. Effect Of Climate Change Rising sea levels threaten coastal cities and regions. More extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts devastate communities. Loss of biodiversity as plants and animals struggles to adapt to changing conditions. Changing in agricultural patters, affecting food production. Increased health risks due to heat waves and the spreads of diseases.

6. Effects on Ecosystems Loss Of Animals And Plants : Climate change makes animals and plants disappear because their homes get too hot or too dry. Change In Nature’s Schedule : weather changes mess up when flowers bloom, birds migrate, and animals hibernate. Hurts Forests : Trees suffer because of warmer weather and more bugs and diseases. Sick Seas : Oceans become sour and hurt see creatures, like coral reefs, because there’s too much CO2 in the water. Nature’s Help Fades : Nature can’t clean water, give us fresh air, or stop floods as well when ecosystems are hurt.

7. Impact on Human Health Heat-related Illnesses : more frequent and intense heatwaves increases the risk of heatstroke and heat exhaustion, especially among vulnerable populations like the elderly and young children. Respiratory Problems : poor air quality due to increased air pollution worsens respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Waterborne Diseases : Contaminated water sources due to flooding and poor sanitation increase the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrheal illnesses.

8. Socio-economic Impacts Higher Costs for leaving : Climate change makes things like food, water and electricity more expensive. Jobs Lost or Changed : Some jobs, like farming and fishing, become harder or disappear because of changing weather and landscapes. Hurt Businesses : stores, farming and fishing, become harder or disappear because of changing weather and landscapes. Homeless and Displaced : Rising seas and stronger storms force people to leave their homes, becoming refugees and losing everything. More Poor people : Climate change makes it harder for some people to earn money and afford basic things, making poverty worse.

9. Conclusion In conclusion, climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with far-reaching impacts on ecosystems, human health, and socio-economic systems. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation, mitigation efforts, and adaptation strategies to build resilience and protect the planet for future generations.
