Causes and Effects of Climate Change

The Earth's climate has changed several times throughout history.

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA), there have been seven cycles of warming and cooling in the last
650,000 years. These earlier cycles occurred naturally as a result of
changes in the atmosphere. In contrast, nearly all climate scientists agree
that the climate changes we are seeing today are caused by human
activities, especially greenhouse gasses, commercial farming, and cutting
down trees, and these activities are having serious negative effects on our
planet.

To conclude, human activity is clearly causing the climate to change and,

as a result, the planet is experiencing a number of negative effects. It is
important that we reduce our negative impact on the planet as much as
possible - for example, by using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels -
before it is too late.
