Defining Climate Change and Causes
🔥 Climate change is defined as a significant shift in climate elements, primarily air temperature and rainfall, occurring over decades to millions of years.
🏭 The primary driver is global warming, caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$), methane, and hydrogen in the atmosphere.
🚗 Major sources of these gases include industrialization, burning fossil fuels in vehicles, deforestation, land-use changes, agriculture/livestock, and the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigerators and aerosols.

Evidence and Impacts of Climate Change
🌊 Observable evidence includes rising sea levels leading to coastal area reduction and increased regional temperatures.
☔ Extreme rainfall events are escalating, causing floods and landslides, alongside the proliferation of pests, plant diseases, and the melting of polar ice caps.
⚠️ The impacts are highly dangerous and threaten various ecosystems and human safety.

Preventative Actions and Personal Responsibility
🚲 Transition from private vehicles to public transport, cycling, or walking whenever possible.
🛍️ Reduce plastic consumption by consistently using personal shopping bags and reusable water bottles.
💡 Conserve electrical energy at home by switching off electronics when they are not in use.
♻️ Avoid burning trash; properly sort waste according to type and dispose of it in designated bins.
🌿 Reduce the use of aerosol products found in air fresheners, deodorants, insect repellents, and cleaning agents, and start planting trees in yards or local environments.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Climate change stems mainly from greenhouse gas accumulation driven by industrial and consumption patterns.
➡️ Consistent, collective small actions (like reducing plastic or saving energy) are emphasized as having a large cumulative impact against climate change drivers.
➡️ Practical steps focus on sustainable transportation, waste management, and energy conservation to mitigate global warming effects.
