Climate change is a very important issue. Due to
rising temperatures, everything is changing. Polar bears
are losing ice caps because they are melting with the
higher temperatures. The increasing amounts of carbon
dioxide in our atmosphere are causing our oceans to be-
come acidified. Even we are feeling the effects! Sea level
risings will cause more hurricanes and tornadoes. These
increased levels of are because of all the oil
and gas we are using. To stop the increases in carbon di-
oxide and temperatures, we need to stop using fossil
fuels and use renewable energy instead. We need to take
action!
