Climate change is “a long-term change in the earth's climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature,” http://www.dictionary.com/browse/climate-change. Recently, there has been an increase in the global temperatures on planet Earth due to both physical factors and human factors which has had many consequences. Climate change has affected the hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere how it has also had social impacts affecting humans so in this essay, I will experiment whether global warming has affected humans more or the enviroment.
Climate change has been caused due to an increase in human activity whether this been a large amount of fossil being burnt in order to produce energy and fuel which has led to huge amounts of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere which is a

There are currently 1.5 billion cows and “according to a Danish study, the average cow produces enough methane per year to do the same greenhouse damage as four tons of carbon dioxide.” https://gizmodo.com/do-cow-farts-actually-contribute-to-global-warming-1562144730 The increase in the production of these gases have all contributed to global warming leading to negative impacts on the environment. Global warming has truly affected hydrosphere and before the industrial period, there was 578 Pg of carbon however it has currently increased to 766 Pg. A lot of this carbon content is being absorbed into the oceans which has affected marine life as the carbon in the sea has acidified the water causing the PH to lower by 0.1 since 1750 impacting species such as the Jellyfish as they cannot live within that environment. Although the increase in carbon content has led to a stimulate growth in certain species of phytoplankton, it has affected animals such as crabs as the carbon
