The widespread destruction of forest reduces the planet's ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Climate change is affecting the world because the oceans could rise up to three feet by 2100. The global North countries are wealthy and industrialized to help each other with climate change. These countries are responsible for the emissions of climate change. Climate change is causing heat waves and air pollution. This is causing the risk of heat stroke, asthma, and heart disease among urban areas. Climate change is affecting the weather pattern around the world, the number of storms has increased. Poor countries are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change because they rely on crops and climate change can effect that, changes in temperature, amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), could have impacts on crops. Poor countries are also affected because their governments are unable to respond quickly to disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and earthquake. What are the causes of climate change in general? What problems is it creating in general?
Sierra Leone is 2.1 % in industrialization growth that is ranked 183 out of 201 countries in the world. Sierra Leone has a carbon dioxide emission from consumption of energy is 1.311 million Mt which is ranked 163 out of 212 countries in the
