Due to the impact of chemical compounds of anthropogenic origins, the ozone layer of our planet collapses. Not only does this layer prevent Earth from losing oxygen but it also protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. That’s the reason why meteorologists around the world keep recording an abnormal temperature increase.
and he is us."

For instance, global warming causes artic ice caps to melt. This causes colder water to move into normally warm water currents. Which can then lead to areas that are normally temperate becoming cold. Or, areas that are normally dry and arid, becoming wet and cold.
Think of it this way. Take a look at England/Scotland/Ireland. If you compare their longitude to the same area in the Americas, you'll see they line up with northern Canada, yet they are more in line with the temperature of much farther south in the Americas, more like new York or Pennsylvania.
Normally, the North Atlantic Drift brings warm water up from the Gulf of Mexico up around this areas resulting in a warm climate even so far north. But, because of the colder artic water disrupting the drift we can expect to see colder weather phenomenon in this area of the world as the planets overall temperature increases.
That's why scientists and activists have started referring to it as "climate change" rather than "global warming" because too many people aren't able to understand that climate and weather aren't the same thing
Climate refers to the overall weather conditions of the planet while weather refers to isolated conditions on a local level.
Not understand this is how we get comically depressing situations where a US Congressman can legitimately convince the public global warming is a hoax by being a single snowball onto the floor of Congress.
The Pacific Garbage patch isn't mostly made up of things like water bottles and straws, but is at least 50% fishing nets.
In fact, the push to make plastic straws illegal benefits those same fishing companies more than anyone else. Governments make laws regulating single plastic use and the general public feels like they've accomplished something substantial and then no one looks to close at where the actual plastic pollution is coming from.
It's similar to how plastic bottling companies passed all of the blame on to the consumer when they made local governments enact recycling programs, even though they all are well aware that it is cheaper to manufacturer new plastic than it is to purchase recycled plastic.
So, the bottling companies can pass the responsibility and the blame on the consumer all while not making any changes whatsoever.
Half the stuff we do to "fix" problems really just make things worse.
... that claim is misleading.
Pink or red water in reservoirs is often caused by natural microorganisms (algae or salt-loving bacteria) that produce red pigments, especially in salty or warm conditions. It is not automatically linked to acid rain or atmospheric chemical changes. While pollution can cause discoloration in some cases, it must be confirmed locally and cannot be assumed from the color alone.
this pic is so old and many tumes proven as interpreted misleading. The picture was misused to sway public perception: polar bears don't starve.
The opposite is right: The polar bear population increases.
It's getting too cold.
We're cutting down trees and trees never grow back.
Polar bears are starving despite increasing population. (maybe that's a clue)
See the seahorse with the Qtip? Proof that 10% of the Pacific Ocean is covered in plastic. But you can't see from satellites for some reason.
It's all propaganda.
Do you have something in mind?
