Global Warming and Climate Change

Global warming and climate change are global issues that affect us all. There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that the earth is getting warmer and that the climate is changing. The occurrence of increasing temperatures in different parts of the world and the increasing floods and typhoons may be one of the greatest threats facing our planet. However, many people think that there is not enough scientific evidence to prove that climate change is a direct result of human action, for example, air pollution. As a result, much valuable time is wasted on debates about the evidence instead of trying to solve the major issues.
