Climate change has affected my life throughout the year. One of the biggest problems has been drought. I’m from Alabama, where we do a lot of farming. It is one of the most significant ways the state makes money because we provide peaches to the whole country, along with Georgia. The most extensive drought was about five years ago when we didn’t receive a drop of water for months, and it was during the peach harvest. The heat was killing the peaches as they grew.
The whole state was affected economically and physically. People were not going out as much or had to be careful with the constant heat waves and alerts on our phones and TVs. We need to find a way to not cause more alarm to the temper, or it doesn’t get warmer, but there is not one solution. We have to speak up on the topic and communicate with the world and people to help understand the changes we can make together or even just your city to help reduce our carbon footprint.
Climate change affects all of us, whether we like it or not. Change determines our future. Because we all have different lifestyles, our priorities are different. Sometimes, if we try to change the way we recycle or use specific materials, we may be affecting someone’s only source of money to provide for their families. Climate change is a multifaceted issue that we can solve with one solution.
In our society there is no solution to climate change with the evolution of technology and life. All we can do is find a better way to reuse or avoid certain things that have a higher effect on your climate. Lower our carbon footprint, not fall victim to fashion changes and clothes, and take care of things we own to last longer and can later be given to others to extend the life of it. But realistically, we can’t make people change their lifestyles. We are all different and can’t come together to find one that fits all type of solution.
Climate changes, and so do the types of solutions we try to find. With everything moving and changing, we cannot really find a solution or where to begin. All we know is that there is no solution; it’s a dead end.

The changes that have already happened because of climate change can’t be undone. Because of our action we have caused a change to animal habitats. If their ecosystem is affected so is ours it’s like Jenga we take pieces of and just put them on top like nothing but at one point you’ll take out the wrong one that unbalance it and make it all fall down. You can re-built it but it’ll never be the same as when you bought it. Some of the changes that we have already caused are that the Amazon rainforest becomes the savanna in a matter of time and our coral reefs are dying. The ice sheets are melting, and they can’t be refrozen.
“The stakes are clear. Complacency will be met by irreversible and unthinkable impact from climate change” John Kerry, U.S special presidential envoy of climate change on “PHYS ORG” article about the impacts and irreversible changes of climate change.
Unique Earth’s Changing Climate (nationalgeographic.org)
It is unique that only certain areas get the most impact during a significant climate change. It’s primarily because of their location in the region that they are constantly being hit. Climate change affects many aspects of our lives, not just the weather, which is really the one thing that people pay attention to.

Finally Climate change is significant and we are all affected by it. We need to act now. It is urgent that we act. During my research about climate change, I read a very important article about acting called “This is why fighting climate change is so urgent” by the Environmental Defense Fund. During my reading I learned new things about climate change that I didn’t really take into consideration or realized because I don’t see. Over the years they have seen changes on our planet, specifically temperature, that the earth has gotten warmer by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th century. But at the rate that today’s climate changes we are expected to change to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit in early 2030, also double the warmth. That half degree is so much more than what we normal people think isn’t a big deal because we think on a large scale that 1 or 2 number difference is not going to do much. The reality is much bigger. It affects our agriculture because there is an increase in evaporation and moisture causing more rain to fall in certain areas that don’t usually have that quantity of water, so they overflow in other areas. It’s the opposite for others; they don’t get a drop of rain for months, completely drying the land. In the end it’s not just that but the Antarctic ice breaking into parts and wildfires spreading faster and lasting longer, insects overproducing and spreading disease. We see the change and why can’t we make a change.
