Climate change is a large and pressing issue our world is currently facing due to the rapid warming of Earth's atmosphere. This warming has been accelerated by the increased emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide by humans. As more greenhouse gases accumulate, the greenhouse effect intensifies, which involves heat being trapped in the atmosphere. Without change to make our world more ecofriendly, the Earth may reach a tipping point beyond which it can never be restored to normal.
