Today's climate change is the biggest problem humanity has faced in a long time. High greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, deforestation and the misuse of resources are causing the climate to destabilize.
It is a serious problem. Let us know how climate change affects people.
Rising sea levels
Kiribati, the first country to be destroyed by climate change.
As the planet warms, the ice at the poles melts and ends up, of course, in the sea, causing the level to rise. In doing so, people living on low-lying islands or on the coasts will have to move to other regions to protect themselves.
One of the most dramatic cases is that of Kiribati. This archipelago, located in the central west of the Pacific, could be submerged before the end of the century, as we mentioned on the blog.
Invasion of tropical pests
The tiger mosquito, native to Southeast Asia, has managed to reach many parts of Europe and America.
Temperatures are getting higher and higher in much of the globe, thus tropical insects that cause disease, such as the tiger mosquito, can reach regions where they could not before putting people's health at risk.
Food shortage
Droughts will be more intense in many parts of the world, such as Spain.
In many parts of the world, such as Spain, it will be increasingly difficult to cultivate due to droughts. High temperatures and low rainfall will cause soil erosion, so the plants will have trouble growing, and even more difficult to bear fruit unless hybrids resistant to these conditions are created.
What to do? In reality, we can do many things to slow down climate change. Actions such as turning off the light when we don't need it, avoiding using vehicles or making the most of trips, recycling or planting trees are small actions that can go a long way.
