Are Humans Causing Climate Change?
Climate Change is the gradual change in weather over a long period of time on Earth. Some people think that humans are the main cause of climate change, while others do not. Others believe that climate change is natural. However, I personally think that we are the main cause of climate change. We can slow it down but cannot completely stop it.
Firstly, climate change is natural, but human activity is speeding it up. For example, we are causing a lot of pollution such as greenhouse gases from factories, automobiles, burning fossil fuels for electricity, eating beef, and more.
Secondly, deforestation causes climate change as well. This is because trees absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Without trees, our planet will have more carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. People continue to cut down trees because they need paper, wood, farmland, and more.
Lastly, buying sustainable products such as Tesla(s) or solar panels are very expensive. For example, the average solar panels system in the United States is 12, 810 USD! Most people cannot afford to buy this. Therefore, they are going to stick to burning fossil fuels for their electricity
