Climate change is an occurring state of world devastation and "causes the weather" to be worse, hotter or colder each year. The reason people think climate change is real is because of what us humans do like factories polluting the air and water just like vehicles putting carbon monoxide in the air. The reason people think it isn't real is because of politics. People are so political for a person that they believe every single thing that person says. Climate change can change weather patterns, raise temps, raise the sea level, disrupt ecosystems, and can change human health.
I believe climate change can change the world in a lot of ways. Climate changes the sea levels to go up 6-8 inches in the past 100 years, which means .14 inches per year. The way it makes the temperature go up is the burning of fossil fuels and us humans releasing greenhouse gasses, and the temp has gone up more than 1 degree in the span of 10 years in iowa which may not seem like a lot but in 50 years over 5 degrees will be added to Iowa's temp. It disrupts ecosystems by causing shifts in species like dolphins or chimpanzees, another reason is because it increases the intensity of the weather causing animals to not be able to live where they once lived.
It changes us too by giving us less air to breathe because of all those factories putting gases in the air and cars putting carbon monoxide into the sky. Carbon monoxide can also kill the plants because of the harsh climate conditions it gets into like hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, and flash floods. It can ruin the food we eat too by killing the plants we use for food and then the animals don't have anything to eat causing the animals to die and the animals that we eat die causing us to die but that won't happen for a long long time.
Does climate change change the world that much?
Is climate change that much to worry about?
should we slow down on polutiong the air?

I agree because the more action we take the safer our world will most likely be and it is happening very slowly but the world is making more factories and it will polute the earth a lot faster than it is physically supposed too
I don't think climate change is really affecting the world that much, despite what other people say. The main argument is that fossil fuels are the main cause of it, raising sea levels by 20cm in 100 years and making storms worse. This does all sound bad, but sea level rise has been steady for a long time, and coastal cities are still standing. I also found some storms from a long time ago that were still bad, and climate change didn't affect them. For example, the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 that killed 8,000 people. Overall, I think this is just overhyped natural variation, not a world-ending event.
that also happened in 1900 where there were a lot less people in the world and it was about 1.65 billion as of now there is 8.09 billion people and we may not be alive when it gets too bad where we might need to start thinking about it, but it is still important to think about.
I'm not convinced climate change is a world-ending event. If you look at history, the Earth has gone through many times when it was warm and cold. For example, the Medieval Warm Period was when Vikings could farm in Greenland, and the Little Ice Age was when rivers would freeze over in Europe. The temperature changes today aren't as wild compared to natural temperature changes. Global averages have only gone up by about 1.1 degrees Celsius since 1800. In the end, that 1.1 degrees is tiny compared to the natural swings we have seen.
you got to think all those were in the past and those tempuratures went up or down the last time those things happened and the temp wont go down after this this time, so im going to have to disagree with you.
I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying that events like the Little Ice Age are irrelevant because they occurred in the past and that the current temperature increase is different and won't decrease again? Like I said before, this is disgrading the historical records of temperature changing. For example, the Little Ice Age and the Medival Warm Period. This shows that the Earth's climate changes without human intervention. The current temperature rise of 1.1 degrees Celsius is tiny compared to the natural swings. Saying temps won't decline this time lacks evidence because climate history shows that cycles of cooling and warming are normal. Not a crisis.
Yes, I think climate change plays a big role in our world. I think all the greenhouse gases released majorly affect global warming especially. With this global warming, ocean levels rise and many storm patterns will be disrupted leading to very powerful tropical storms and hurricanes.
I agree because the climate change can disrupt a lot of things like the weather patterns, the ecosystem, and the air we breathe.
I believe that it does change just very small to wear we do not believe that it does not effect us. It could be something to worry about when it becomes something worse. People will only start to care if there is a very big change. I think we could slow down on pollution.
I agree but it is getting to the point where it is getting worse and worse the more time we wait the more vehichles that get made and more factories produce more pollution in the air and water.
