Recently there have been many heat waves occurring in North America. Some people might wonder why heat waves happen though. It is because of climate change and how we as society help it get worse and worse. Global warming is one of the reasons why climate change exists. Global warming is mainly caused by pumping emissions into the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor.
An example of one of the recent heat waves is the heat wave in Death Valley, California. The heat wave caused the temperature to rise to 130 degrees which is Earth’s highest temperature. That type of temperature has not occurred for at least 90 years. This is all due to climate change. We can help lessen the effects of climate change by fighting global warming. We can stop pumping emissions into the atmosphere by switching to electric cars or riding bicycles more frequently.
