Climate change is increasingly discussed in national and international politics,
science, technology and many other news subjects and has become a growing threat in most
recent years. Climate change is often misconceived as warmer weather at inappropriate times
of year but in reality is a deeply complex issue that has many consequences on many different
aspects of life. The way that it affects one species is likely to trickle up or down and affect any
other species with which it interacts. Side effects of climate change may impact the plants and
animals that we eat, how things grow and are made, disease prevalence and so much more.
Thus, it is important to examine and understand the extent to which it can cause harm. This
understanding will promote advocacy for climate change awareness and mitigation strategies
that may be able to slow its progress and prevent as much damage as is currently predicted.
