GET ACCESS _WEEKEND READ Solutions for a changing planet Addressing the planet’s climate crisis will require problem-solving on a global scale. Minimizing global climate change is necessary to secure a better future for our planet and to ensure that it remains habitable for all humans, animals, and plants. The steps to solve this daunting problem rely heavily on changing the ways industries produce and consume energy. Climate change refers to variations in the average conditions of the Earth’s climate over a long period of time—anywhere from decades to millions of years. “Climate change” and “global warming” are often used synonymously, but global warming is technically a subcategory of climate change that focuses specifically on the Earth’s increasing average temperature. Climate change incorporates global warming along with other effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions, such as changes in wind patterns and precipitation. It’s not unusual for the Earth’s climate pattern to change over a long period of time due to natural causes. Since the Industrial Revolution, however, the planet’s climate has changed at an alarming rate—notably due to human activity. In fact, each of the past three decades has been warmer than all preceding decades on record. The Earth’s rapidly changing climate has many harmful effects, including more frequent extreme weather events, rising sea levels caused by ice melting, food insecurity caused by prolonged droughts, and the extinction of numerous animal and plant species.
