Climate change is having serious effects on our environment, societies, and economies all over the world. Rising temperatures and sea levels are leading to more extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and hurricanes. This is resulting in a loss of biodiversity, destruction of habitats, destruction of farmland, and destruction of infrastructure. Increasing acidity in the ocean is negatively impacting marine life, and many species including polar bears, penguins, and sea turtles are now facing extinction. With the continued burning of fossil fuels, air and water pollution are on the rise, posing serious health risks to people and wildlife alike.
