Climate Change

Climate change is humanity's slow-motion self-destruction. It's not a distant threat. It's not abstract. It's a direct consequence of centuries of greed, denial, and willful ignorance. We've been pumping toxic gases into the atmosphere like there's no tomorrow—quite literally. Fossil fuel companies, driven by obscene profits, have knowingly poisoned the planet. The Earth is heating up, the ice is melting, the oceans are rising, and ecosystems are collapsing. Millions of species are being wiped out—not by natural causes, but by human arrogance. Extreme heat waves, floods, fires, and droughts aren’t random acts of nature. They’re the Earth’s immune response to the infection we’ve become. This isn’t a future problem. It's now. And if we keep sleepwalking through it, we won't be passing down a livable world. We'll be handing over a broken, burning planet gasping for its last breath.

Since the late 1800s, the planet’s average temperature has risen by more than 1.2°C. That may not sound like much, but in climate systems, even a 1-degree shift is massive—like raising your body temperature by a couple degrees and never letting it drop. This heating is caused by greenhouse gases—mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, and nearly all of them come from human activities:

  • Burning fossil fuels for energy (oil, coal, gas)

  • Cutting down forests

  • Industrial farming and meat production

  • Landfills and overconsumption

We’ve known this for over a century, yet global emissions are still rising. Why? Because money talks and short-term profits have hijacked long-term survival.

Climate change isn't a warning anymore. It's a verdict. And we're the culprits.
