READING: CLIMATE CHANGE

Read the text: Climate change is one of the most worrying things for our planet. Many politicians and scientists say it is the biggest danger we face. I read almost every day that climate change is changing the Earth forever. Many species of animal, fish, insect, frog, etc. are dying. The ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting. Our weather is changing so places are getting warmer, or colder, or are having more and stronger hurricanes. We all need to do our bit so that climate change does not destroy us. It’s important to cut down on things that produce greenhouse gasses. These warm the planet and change the climate. Doing simple things like turning off lights and recycling paper all help. The planet's climate is constantly changing, but now scientist believe that the extreme changes taking place today are the result of human activity. The changes we see today may affect the stability of the climate on which much life on the planet depends. It is difficult to predict the weather change, but we can expect more extreme weather conditions like floods, storms and heat waves. Scientist believe there will be more rain but also a higher risk of drought in inland areas.
