Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s,\u00a0human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.<\/p>\n

Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun\u2019s heat and raising temperatures.<\/p>\n

Examples of greenhouse gas emissions that are ca\"\"using climat<\/span>e change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and forests can also release carbon dioxide. Landfills for garbage are a major source of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the\u00a0main emitters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that som<\/span>eone else will save it. You are never too small to make a difference. Students of primary campus prepared an assembly where they took climate change as a pivotal issue and addressed it in a unique yet interesting way.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
