Climate change is a natural disaster affecting the Earth and its inhabitants in various ways. The most apparent way climate change affects us is through the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events are costly, often resulting in loss of life and damage to property. Climate change is also causing changes in the global climate, which are affecting the Earth’s ecosystems in a variety of ways. For example, rising temperatures are causing the Arctic ice cap to melt, affecting the habitat of polar bears and other Arctic animals. Climate change is also causing changes in the distribution of plants and animals and the timing of their life cycles. These changes can disrupt the balance of an ecosystem and cause problems for the plants and animals that depend on that ecosystem.
