What is Climate Change

Climate change is a long-term change in the statistical distribution of weather
patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a
change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that
average (e.g., more or fewer extreme weather events) Climate change may
be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth.

Climate change caused by humans?

Yes, over 97% of scientist agree that humans cause climate change.
Humanity’s accelerated burning of fossil fuels and deforestation (forests are
key parts of the planet’s natural carbon management systems) have led to
rapid increases of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global warming.

How to control Climate Change

• Start afforestation and stop deforestation.
• Stop using products which releases CFC to stop global warming and ozone
depletion.
• Use CNG instead of petrol and diesel.
• Use CNG instead of burning coal, wood and fossil fuels.
• Start cycling or walking to short distances.
• Use carpol or common transport system.
• Recycle your organic waste.
• Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills. Re-use paper!
• When the time comes to change your car battery, recycle your old one.
• Stop using plastic bags instead use cloth or paper bags.
• Encourage to use electricity generated from windmill and solar energy.
• Follow three ‘R’ principle – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
