Awareness of global warming

Caused by global warming, climate change refers to long-term weather conditions on Earth, such as temperature, sea level, and precipitation. Everyone is talking about climate change. Extremely warm winters, out-of-control forest fires and faster-than-expected melting of glaciers are phenomena due to climate change. The main cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Other human activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to their spread. The problem is that these gases trap heat in the atmosphere: this is called the greenhouse effect. Both our health and our food security are at risk. If we cannot prevent climate change, we can at least mitigate and adapt to its effects. Mitigation actions include reducing emissions into the atmosphere, for example by using clean energy and increasing forest areas. Drastic changes are needed in key areas such as transport, energy, industry, housing, waste management and agriculture. Modern generations grow up with the idea that everything can be replaced, that sources are inexhaustible and it's good to have a lot of things. These ideas are usually not directly related to nature, but when children encounter the cycle of natural creation, they discover the importance of preserving, being frugal, and restoring the world around them. Environmental education of adolescents is an important condition for forming an ecological culture and achieving harmony in the "man - society - nature" system. Ecological knowledge is the basis of ecological culture. In most cases, they are highly abstract, hidden from immediate perception and direct observation. We need to start reducing emissions now and keep them low to avoid loading the atmosphere with too much CO2. To save the climate, we must act now. We don't have decades, maybe just a few years, to limit global warming. And each of us can do something that seems small, but relative to the number of people it can have a significant effect. It is a project to be carried out with the aim of drawing attention to increasing air pollution and global warming
