Human-induced climate change has contributed to changing patterns of extreme weather across the globe, from longer and hotter heat waves to heavier rains. From a broad perspective, all weather events are now connected to climate change. While natural variability continues to play a key role in extreme weather, climate change has shifted the odds and changed the natural limits, making certain types of extreme weather more frequent and more intense.
While our understanding of how climate change affects extreme weather is still developing, evidence suggests that extreme weather may be affected even more than anticipated. Extreme weather is on the rise, and the indications are that it will continue to increase, in both predictable and unpredictable ways.
If the human doesn’t try to reduce this problem, the human will soon be extinct from a change in climates. “Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner”, (Jenkins Amber, NASA). As there are increasing and decreasing the number of animals, and many things are changing, the systems in the environment will collapse soon, and cause some type of organism to become endangered or extinct. For example, in the North Pole, the decrease in the area of glaciers is causing polar bears to drown. Seals are the polar bear’s food, and it is harder for polar bears to catch the seals when there are fewer areas of land. Polar bears will end up dying from drowning and starvation. As a result, the seal’s population will increase and cause the fish population to decrease. Therefore, the food chain will collapse and animals will come to extinction.

A lot of fish die from water pollution.
Climate change will also cause more natural disasters. For example, “In Asia, Freshwater availability projected to decrease in Central, South, East and Southeast Asia by the 2050s; coastal areas will be at risk due to increased flooding; death rate from disease associated with floods and droughts expected to rise in some region”, (Jenkins Amber, NASA).
Humans are facing the problem of climate change today, and the ones who are causing these conflicts are humans. It is impossible to stop global warming, but people still can reduce and slow down this problem. If there is no interaction to this problem will soon be killed from the change in climate and natural disasters. Humans were the one who changed the world, and now, it is time for the human to change themselves.
