In my opinion, there are three reasons leading to starvation: First, conflicts are a significant cause because the farmers have to be soldiers, and farms become battlefields. What happens in Ukraine is a good example. Second, climate change destroys lives and crops and undermines people's ability to feed themselves. For example, rising sea levels threaten food security in some countries because many rice fields disappeared. Third, higher fertilizer prices affect agriculture leading to the production of maize, rice, soybean, and wheat falling. To prevent starvation all countries should commit to solving the dispute peacefully, and have a timeline for changing fossil energy to green energy. In addition, we should stop food waste habits. The Hazards of Climate Change You have felt the recent unusual weather! Climate change threatens human health and development. At present, climate change is the greatest challenge facing the world. Climate change is having unprecedented impacts across the global. First, extreme weather causes catastrophic events. Then, rising sea level threaten people's lives. Next, changing the ecological environment leads to the extinction of some species. Finally, climate change increases the risk of some diseases as well as infectious diseases. In the future, we hope that people will be less harmed by climate change. The Climate Change Do you know what is the world's biggest challenge? In my opinion, climate change is the biggest. Climate change is a change in the Earth's climate that are warming the atmosphere, ocean, and land. The cause of global warming is the greenhouse effect. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, and human activities increase their concentration. There are many causes leading to global warming. First, burning coal, oil, and gas. Then, cutting down forest. Last, increasing farming livestock. Finally, fertilizers containing nitrogen. The results of global warming are significant and affect many aspects of our lives, like rising sea levels, severe wildfires, ect. To save our world, we need action to fight climate change now. Every country should have a plan for reducing it's consumption of fossil fuels, reforestation, and not increasing livestock.
