According to a new report from the United Nations' scientific panel, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, humanity has about 12 years to avoid the direct consequences of climate change. To avert catastrophic sea-level rise, food shortages, and widespread drought and wildfire, emissions must be reduced by 45 percent from 2010 levels, and by 100 percent by 2050."

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position."The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. From current trends to statistics, this popular source has a lot of data to prove that climate change is 95 percent due to human activity. He believes that the time is now for finding solutions to climate change. Evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming

Climate change is something to fear in the upcoming years. Observations have been recorded since the Industrial Revolution occurred showing heat trends that have been increasing year after year. Climate change is one of the most controversial issues going on in today's age as many people believe that we are feeling the consequences of this issue while others don't believe in climate change at all. Scientists have found evidence to prove that climate change is real and that we have experienced climate change. Yet many people don't truly understand the impact that humans can have negatively on our planet. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position, according to NASA. There has not been enough action taken towards this issue as we are already feeling the repercussions of climate change. There is only one Earth and if we keep up the warming trends we will no longer have an environment suitable to live. Islands and coastal cities could be flooded in the near future as well as deserts with no water supply. The time is now to start taking action for climate change as we humans are a huge contributor to this ongoing issue.

According to a new report from the United Nations' scientific panel, mankind has 12 years to avoid the damages from climate change. Climate change has been known as one of the greatest environmental threats to humanity in the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The Earth is more polluted today than ever before. Scientists have described the human impact on climate with examples such as deforestation, pollution, and overpopulation. There are more people on Earth now than ever before. The only positive news about climate change is that more people believe in climate change more than ever. More than seven out of 10 Americans now say that global warming is "personally important" to them, an increase of nine points since March 2018, according to the AP poll. However, the president of the United States does not scientifically believe in the effects of climate change. Donald Trump believes that climate change is a hoax. That is not a good look for Americans as it shows people that it is not a serious issue to take into consideration at a time where we are already seeing the effects. Examples of the effects are extreme weather, rising sea levels, extinction of species, and bad air quality. Scientists have proven that sea levels have risen by over 17 cm in the last couple of years, according to NASA. With the amount of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere creating a heat blanket-like effect on our Earth creating devastating effects on our livelihoods and ecosystems. Natural disasters are becoming more and more common and summers are only getting warmer and warmer. The news still needs to be spread as this is an issue that must be solved soon before it's too late. Many people still don't believe in climate change and think that it is over-exaggerated often by climatologists.

Climate change is so easily affected and the more we pollute, the worse it gets. The trashing in the ocean, the continuing burn of fossil fuels, the littering anywhere and everywhere, it all helps contribute to worsening climate change. "Scientists agree that today's warming is primarily caused by humans putting too much carbon in the atmosphere, like when we choose to extract and burn coal" reported by the Union of Concerned Scientists in the United States of America (UCSUSA). Humans have started to find cleaner ways to produce energy and help lower their carbon footprint. Renewable resources will greatly prevent the full repercussions of climate change. Recycling will also need to become a higher priority on people's minds when it comes to saving our planet. To avert the full and lethal effects of climate change, carbon emissions by human activities must be reduced by 45 percent from 2010 levels, and by 100 percent by 2050, according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. If mankind doesn't change their way of life to better serve our planet, we can see the catastrophic sea-level rise, drought, food shortage, extreme weather, more diseases, and much more. The scientific evidence is clear that climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a serious threat to our society now and in the near future. The way our Earth remains today may never be the same if we keep polluting our Earth. Climatologists believe that the time is now to start improving the Earth. Whether it's lowering your carbon footprint, spreading the word on this issue to bring attention, or help clean up what damages are already done. Taking action is better than not doing anything at all. Each day that we don't do anything to help mother nature is a day that we are adding fuel to the fire known as climate change and global warming.
