I am writing to you right now about Climate Crisis. We all know the effects of Global Warming.
We, humans need to stop climate change because bad things happen like super typhoons and lack of food. It can also affect the ocean's biodiversity; harming marine life and even killing them and thus, affecting the food chain. It can also affect the sea levels of the ocean because of the ice melting. Climate change produces greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which will trap heat and causing to warm the globe. Money is one of the major reasons for climate change because it motivates rich people to use gas for their factories that produce carbon emissions. If we don't protect the earth, there will be extinction to humanity. We are not one of the top contributors to carbon emissions but we are one of the most vulnerable people to it. Deforestation and Water pollution also have effects on the globe because plants help us to remove carbon and replace it with oxygen and the plastics inside the water break into microplastics that produce carbon emissions too. Mining can cause negative effects too. There's a higher risk that landslides will happen and the chemicals used for mining will soon go to the ocean, causing harm to marine life but we also need it to create concrete and for decorating and building houses.

We need to turn factories that produce carbon emissions into renewables like solar panels, windmills, etc. Eat less meat because it produces carbon emissions too when we eat meat. Reduce land, water, and air pollution to avoid carbon and methane emissions to protect animal and marine life. Walk or use a bicycle instead of cars that produce carbon emissions. Add taxes to gasoline cars and all the factories that produce carbon emissions for the additional budget for Climate change. Vote for people who respect science and have the will to stop climate change. Although we are the problem, we can also be the solution.
