The problem of climate change lies in the fact that most of the globally used energy today is derived from fossil fuels - coal, oil and petroleum products and natural gas.
Their combustion in industry, households and transport produces gases such as sulfur (IV) oxide (sulfur dioxide) - SO2, nitrogen oxides - NOx and carbon (IV) oxide (carbon dioxide) - CO2, which cause climate change - acid rain and global warming.

Climate Change, claimed that rising temperatures and changes in weather patterns around the world have had a devastating effect, which has already halted the growth rate of many species.
Acid rains are the result of the combustion of sulfur dioxide gases and nitrogen oxides, that is, precipitation contaminated by these chemical compounds. These gases react with acid rain water to form rain drops. Acid rains have about 40 times more acid than unloaded rainwater.
Global warming is the name for increasing the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere and ocean. It is a consequence of the emission of carbon dioxide and methane, the so-called greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere mostly from industrial plants. Global warming is an environmental problem affecting all life on Earth. Greenhouse gases remain in the atmosphere for long - probably decades.

The effects of global warming are felt on a daily basis, and in addition to rising temperatures, there are changes in biological processes, melting of icebergs, rising sea levels, changing habitats of plants and animals due to adaptation to new climatic conditions, etc. Species that are unable to adapt themselves to changes in weather are at greater risk of extinction because climate change has made dramatic changes in the ecological system. This has led to a change in the food of these species and other factors considered necessary to maintain survival.
Climate change can be achieved through two ways: climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation, which actually complement each other. Adaptation to climate change involves assessing the adverse impacts of climate change and taking appropriate measures to prevent or reduce the potential damage they may cause. Adaptation is still a fairly new way to think, but nonetheless a framework relevant to climate action exists at all over world.

It is understood that the size of many animals, including many plants and polar bears, has been shrinking due to the impact on natural habitats due to climate change. The consequences of shrinking or shrinking size are not yet fully understood, but they can be far-reaching for both biological ecology and humans.
Observing the effects of climate change, it is undoubted that the survival of plant and animal species, and therefore of man, is endangered.
It is therefore a high time for each of us to contribute to climate change and environmental protection through responsible environmental behavior, energy and water savings and the use of renewable energy sources. Only in this way, will we save planet Earth for generations to come.
