What Is Climate Change? How climate change raises the risk of glacier and rock collapse Climate change means abrupt shifts in temperature and weather. Some of these shifts occur naturally, while others result from human activities such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Burning fossil fuels produces greenhouse emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising temperatures. The main greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, cause climate change. Clearing land and deforestation can also release CO2. Agriculture, oil and gas are the primary sources of methane emissions. These are a few of the main sources of greenhouse gases. We face a huge challenge, but we have many solutions. Climate change can be reduced by eliminating CO2 from the atmosphere, which requires systemic changes. The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that countries must double their pledges under the Paris Agreement within the next dec...
Clean Earth, Clear Future: Stand Up Against Pollution The planet we call home - the Earth - is struggling to breathe. From industrial cities with smoke-soiled skies to our oceans filled with plastic to our rivers and lakes filled with toxic waste, the Earth is gasping for breath. What was once a thriving ecosystem with clean air, clean water, and vibrant life is now attempting to breathe under the duress of human activities. The signals are prevalent: increasing global temperatures, dying species, unbreathable air, and toxic waste in every aspect of nature. But here is the truth: we still have time to make some changes. The Earth has proven it can heal - but only if we stop doing harm. Let’s look at how pollution has brought our planet to the brink, what that means for our future, and how we can work to help it breathe again. Our Current Situation (2025) Air Quality Information: The air in India is extremely polluted. IQAir’s report for 2024 (Air Quality and Health in 2024: Globa...
