Climate Change: Loss of Biodiversity A Special Report on the Causes and Preventive Methods

BY JIYA PAREKH

Pollution and forest loss create only one monster: climate change. Climate change harms the Earth’s biodiversity. Climate change is every person on Earth’s responsibility. We must defeat it!

Biodiversity is how diverse an area is in nature. Bio means nature, and diversity or diverse means how many different types of living things or organisms are in an area.

Climate change is very harmful to the environment. The Earth is always getting warmer and colder. Many factors contribute to climate change (or Global Warming) and the result is that the Earth is warming too fast.

CARS

One of the biggest contributors to climate change is cars. Cars pollute the air with fossil fuels. Fossil fuels become dangerous and toxic gases during the process of driving. This process not only affects the health of living beings but also thins the Earth’s ozone layer. When the ozone thins, this event increases the strength of the sun’s rays that reach us and opens the way for harmful light such as ultraviolet light. Another effect of the thinning ozone of Earth’s atmosphere is severe weather affecting animal, plant, and insect life.

BOATS

Boats are polluters, too. They run on diesel fuel
