Climate Change is all around us and can affect any living thing on the planet. Climate change is a change in global or regional climate patterns. Climate change is largely attributed to the increased levels of carbon dioxide that go into the atmosphere after burning fossil fuels. The global average temperature has gone up by about 1.5℉ since the 1800s and some regions have even warmed by as much as 3℉ and it is believed that the rising temperatures will continue. If this happens then ocean levels would rise, more snow and ice would melt, and the usual temperature in places could be drastically changed. Average global temperatures are thought to increase by 0.5℉-8.6℉ by the year 2100. Oceans help reduce the effects of climate change by taking
