Climate change is one of the most up-growing issues in the 21st century. All things we human beings do in our lives is contributing towards climate change, all this stuff emits harmful green house gases that deplete the ozone layer and UV rays enter which causes global warming, which again leads to the melting of Icebergs, Glaciers, rise in sea level, etc.
 
All of us are aware of this stuff and we’re continuing to do it. All of the stuff that we use in our daily life doesn’t work without petroleum products. For example, the car we drive; it runs with the help of fuel which comes from fossil fuel, which takes a long time to generate from dead and decaying fossils of animals. Just having a car doesn’t mean you have to drive it even if your destination
Is in close quarters, fossil fuel also produces harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, etc. which causes the depletion of the ozone layer and it causes UV rays to enter the earth’s surface, which causes stuff like global warming and health issues like skin cancer, etc.

As more climate change occurs many more dangerous weather events are held more frequently, like floods, tsunami, volcanic eruption and many more and if it continues there is no more for human era yo live; not only those harmful gases affects the human beings and destroys ozone layer it also affects the animal and insects which helps in the balance of ecosystem because of lots of plastics and sewages from industries are leading to the death of sea animals and due to deforestation and the excess amount of gases like Carbon-dioxide, Methane and many more in the atmosphere wild animals like Tiger, Rhino, Lion, Elephant, etc are in the verge of extinction; Along with those insects like Bee and Ant are also getting affected which also plays a huge role in the balance of the ecosystem.

At last, all of us are aware of this stuff that’s going around knowing it's dangerous. Even-though, we are continuing to do this stuff and live a pleasurable life. We also have to think about the future generation and how are they gonna live? And use an alternative source of energy like solar energy,
Wind energy, geothermal energy, etc rather than using fossil fuels. To prevent climate change first we have to change.
