The industrial revolution was a gigantic leap in the ability of mankind to produce goods. Industrialization meant more wealth was available and constantly being created to allow everyone a relatively luxurious life. The main fuel for climate change which is fossil irks however has a disastrous effect on the environment. Since the onset of the industrial revolution climate change has been an observable bi-product of an otherwise beneficial thing. The effects of climate change are huge. The immediate effect is an increase in the average worldwide temperature which is caused by the greenhouse effect. The earth has a layer in the atmosphere that traps in heat, as factories use more fossil fuels to fuel industry CO2 is released into the atmosphere and trapped there where it insulates the earth. An increase in temperature results in more precipitation which fuels weather disasters such as hurricanes. With more precipitation and water vapor to fuel them hurricanes and their like will be immensely stronger which will hurt coastal societies. An increase in temperature also means there will be an increase in sea levels. As sea levels rise we lose more land to live in which results in displacements of families worldwide. This is only a fraction of the effect climate change has on the earth. The other effects are more drastic, for example droughts. Droughts are already a common phenomenon in dry places on earth but as previously mentioned climate change comes about because of an increase in temperature. Droughts are more likely to happen now which is seriously bad for everyone who lives on the planet. Droughts affect or food supply and our capability to live in certain areas. Not only humans are affected as a matter of fact animals are dying at an exponential rate every year because they’re displaced by climate change. Displacement of animals results in a loss of bio diversity and biological processes in general that make some places on earth livable. For example the Sahara desert is constantly expanding every year because of a loss of life that maintains the habitable places near it. Climate change will undoubtedly prove to be humanity’s downfall if we do not do anything to stop it. The politicians promise us change but never deliver on their promises. We absolutely cannot leave the fate of future generations in the hands off morally and physically decrepit individuals who couldn’t not care less about the issue. If you and I do not stand up to these people and forcefully demand change. We are doomed
