The science is clear: climate change is an environmental issue and a serious threat to our public health.
The evidence that human activities and expansion are the main causes of climate change. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, industrialisation, and agricultural activities increase the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the atmosphere, thus changing the Earth's natural atmospheric condition. According to the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), the climate change will affect air quality, water and food supply, extreme heat and severe weather conditions. All of these changes are a serious threat to our health. The direct damage cost to health caused by climate change is estimated to be between 2 to 4 billion dollars by 2030. By reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through better transportation, food and energy use, we can greatly reduce the impact of climate change on our health "He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything" _ Thomas Carlyle. |

Hello Hassan, this is your mentor Hannah.
Yes, climate change is usually not seen by our eyes but it takes our health away.
It's especially surprising that direct damage cost estimated to health caused by climate change is so big.
It would be great if you put the reference for the figure!
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :)
Sincerly,
Hannah

Hello Hassan, this is your mentor Joon
Climate change affects the world in many different ways. Though there might be 'some' positive changes, it is not the case for most of the times. As you have mentioned, climate change affect air quality, water, food supply, extreme heat, and severe weather conditions, which all negatively affect our living. We should find the way that is much sustainable than now so that we could continue our standard of living.
Well read your article!
Best,
Joon
