Hello, answering your question. Climate change is not a hoax, it is an overwhelming reality that is killing us faster than we think.

Climate change is a global challenge that has no borders and to combat it requires coordinated work by all countries.

There is a great ignorance of what climate change really is, either due to excess information, inaccuracy in sources or due to misinformation, which gives rise to a series of false myths about climate change. In this space we will approach from an objective and scientific point of view what climate change is, what are its causes, its consequences and how it can be fought. In short, how climate change affects us.

In the first place, it is necessary to clarify two concepts that, although closely related, are often mistakenly taken as synonyms: climate change and global warming. There is an important difference, and that is that global warming is the cause of climate change, that is, the increase in the temperature of the planet caused by emissions into the atmosphere of greenhouse gases derived from the activity of the human being, are causing variations in climate that would not naturally occur.

The Earth has already warmed and cooled on other occasions in a natural way, but the truth is that these cycles have always been much slower, needing millions of years, whereas now and as a consequence of human activity, we are reaching levels that in other times they brought extinctions in barely two hundred years.

The causes of climate change are diverse, but all point to a single culprit THE MAN and his lack of consciousness in thinking that the land belongs to him.

The different causes are the greenhouse effect from the emission of toxic gases into the atmosphere, pollution of marine ecosystems, deforestation, excessive population increase, land pollution.

 This global increase in temperature has disastrous consequences that endanger the survival of the flora and fauna of the Earth, including humans. Among the impacts of climate change are the melting of the ice mass at the poles, which in turn causes sea level rise, which produces floods and threatens the coastal littorals -even small island states are at risk of disappearing -.

Climate change also increases the occurrence of more violent weather events, droughts, fires, the death of animal and plant species, the overflowing of rivers and lakes, the appearance of climate refugees and the destruction of livelihoods and economic resources , especially in developing countries.

Great answer, even though I won't agree on the part : killing us faster than we think

Nothing can kill us, we are the creators here & how we act towards us, nature & everyone else will eventually decide what will kill us & won't

Therefore, there is lot of things we can do to extend our life-span than just sit around & speak how climate change is killing us
