The Effects Of Climate Change On The Freshwater Biome

Our world is changing. It was always meant to change, change is inevitable, but this isn’t a good kind of change. This is climate change. Climate change is a real effect on the Earth, and it’s affecting everyone. Technically, climate change is a normal occurrence over a period of 30 years where the climate of an area drastically changes, but this kind of climate change is putting our world at stake. The Freshwater biome is being negatively affected in many ways as a result of climate change. I am Dr. Corrado, presenting facts to defend the effects of climate change in the freshwater biome and what society can do to help.The effects of climate change are real. The lakes, rivers, and streams are getting more acidic. The temperatures are rising

The Freshwater biome has an average temperature of 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer and 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. On average it rains 10-80 inches per year, and it is in the temperate climate zone. The Freshwater biome has many seasons depending on the weather. The temperatures of the biome are rising, which causes the water to flood and extreme storms to occur. Flooded water can combine with sewage, making dirty and unsafe drinking water. Only 1% of the world’s water is easily accessed, and if we run out of water, we cannot perform the activities necessary for life. The flooding could also affect the millions of people who live near freshwater, causing mass destruction and lots of debt. Major cities like New York and Tokyo will fall, causing lots of destruction and debt as well as loss of industries. We would have to rebuild all the destruction, which would use up money we could have used for more important things. This would be a never ending cycle, and underground transportation systems would continue to flood and would never be fully rebuilt. The

Water is getting warmer and more acidic, and as a result, the wildlife we cooperate with are dying. This can impact the economy, the lives of people all around the world, our health, and the other organisms that surround us. Climate change is very real, and us, as humans, need to help make these issues smaller or completely stop them. Currently, the freshwater biome is in a somewhat stable state, living in harmony and slightly phased by the effects of climate change. Climate change was brought to light in the early 1900s by Teddy Roosevelt, and the Conservation Committee was what came of it. To help lessen the effects of climate change, we can regulate our water usage, destroy harmful dams, and construct, new, helpful, hydroelectric ones. Slowing climate change won’t be easy. Every little thing you do can help, such as regulating your water usage (without the government involved), to using more renewable resources, to spreading the word and donating money to other scientists researching climate change. Stopping these effects is in the hands of the people. Anyone can save the freshwater biome if they take the steps that are necessary. It will take time, but it can be done. What will you
