    1) Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases. This is causing problems like rising sea levels and more extreme weather. 2) There are two approaches to addressing climate change: mitigation, which reduces emissions; and adaptation, which helps societies adjust to the impacts of climate change. 3) Climate change will require changes in how we generate energy and in our energy needs, as it affects water supplies and increases demand for cooling and decreases demand for heating.

    INTRODUCTION

    Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come

    to define Earth's local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range of

    observed effects that are synonymous with the term. These human-produced temperature

    increases are commonly referred to as global warming. The energy crisis is the concern

    that the world's demands on the limited natural resources that are used to power industrial

    society are diminishing as the demand rises. These natural resources are in limited supply.

    “An energy crisis is any significant bottleneck in the supply of energy resources to an

    economy.

    Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have significantly increased since 1900.

    Since 1970, CO2 emissions have increased by about 90%, with emissions from fossil

    fuel combustion and industrial processes contributing about 78% of the total

    2|Page
    greenhouse gas emissions increase from 1970 to 2011. Agriculture, deforestation,

    and other land-use changes have been the second-largest contributors

    How is climate change related to energy crisis? Climate change can alter

    our energy generation potential and energy needs. For example, changes to the water cycle

    have an impact on hydropower, and warmer temperatures increase the energy demand for

    cooling in the summer, while decreasing the demand for heating in the winter.

    ABSTRACT

    Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times. Climate change is already

    happening the temperatures are rising, drought and wild fires are starting to occur more

    frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and the global mean

    sea level is rising. To mitigate climate change, we must reduce or prevent the emissions

    linked to human activities. One of the most pressing issues of our time, climate

    change threatens the lives and livelihoods of billions of people. Natural

    disasters, environmental degradation and extreme weather patterns disrupt harvests, deplete

    fisheries, erode livelihoods and spur infectious diseases. Climate change includes the long-

    term rise in global temperatures, which is referred to as global warming. Increased levels

    of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, from human activities such as the burning of fossil

    fuels and farming, are to blame. 2-Global warming is a type of climate change that refers to

    the rise in global temperatures over time. Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the

    atmosphere, primarily from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and farming, are

    to blame. 3-Climate change is unavoidable. The best thing that can be done is to slow

    things down, which will require global action. As we can see, some countries prioritize

    3|Page
    economic benefits over environmental ones, thus these developments will continue at a

    similar, if not faster, pace.

    APPROACHES

    There are responding to climate change involves two possible approaches which are

    reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the

    atmosphere (mitigation) and/or adapting to the climate change already in the

    pipeline (adaptation). Mitigation, reducing climate change involves reducing the flow of

    heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, either by reducing sources of these

    gases (for example, the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat or transport) or

    enhancing the “sinks” that accumulate and store these gases (such as the oceans, forests

    and soil). The goal of mitigation is to avoid significant human interference with the climate

    system, and “stabilize greenhouse gas levels in a timeframe sufficient to allow ecosystems

    to adapt naturally to climate change, ensure that food production is not threatened and to

    enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner” (from the 2014 report

    on Mitigation of Climate Change from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on

    Climate Change, page 4).

    Adaptation, adapting to life in a changing climate involves adjusting to actual or expected

    future climate. The goal is to reduce our vulnerability to the harmful effects of climate

    change (like sea-level encroachment, more intense extreme weather events or food

    insecurity). It also encompasses making the most of any potential beneficial opportunities

    associated with climate change (for example, longer growing seasons or increased yields in

    some regions).

    Throughout history, people and societies have adjusted to and coped with changes in

    climate and extremes with varying degrees of success. Climate change (drought in

    particular) has been at least partly responsible for the rise and fall of civilizations. Earth’s

    climate has been relatively stable for the past 12,000 years and this stability has been

    crucial for the development of our modern civilization and life as we know it. Modern life

    is tailored to the stable climate we have become accustomed to. As our climate changes,

    we will have to learn to adapt. The faster the climate changes, the harder it could be.

    CONCLUSION

    Climate change and global warming refer to an increase in average global temperatures.

    Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in

    average global temperatures. This is caused by increases in greenhouse gases such as

    Carbon Dioxide (CO2). It is being clear that human activities have caused most of the

    century’s warming by releasing heat-trapping gases-called greenhouse gases into the

    atmosphere.

    Climate change is a global and a long time issues that we face our everyday life. And

    nothing can say that climate change will disappear so that all we need to do is planting

    more trees. We need to care about this thing and we must to do something for earth like we

    need to plants trees more than to a buildings, we need to plant foods more than to create a

    technology. Humans need to see these pictures so they care about the earth and nature.

    Hoping that in next generations like 30 years later, hope that the earth is healed and on

    peace. Love the earth and love all the things in earth.
