Climate Change: A Ticking Time Bomb

Call it climate change or global warming––it is legitimate. Arguments should not be made about the existence being a hoax; scientific evidence, based and backed by facts, shows the reality of it.

Diseases are gaining power and killing us quicker because of climate change. According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, climate change is making diseases more threatening and making people more vulnerable to them.

People will begin dying of hunger as food becomes scarce because of the ravishing heat and lack of water. With a limited amount of clean drinking water and a key to human survival, humans, especially in poor countries will begin to die as they struggle to find any. Increased rain may sound like a good thing especially in drought-stricken California, but in other places this will bring devastating amounts of rain and storms leaving behind cities and countries underwater and forgotten for eternity.
