"Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner."
Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring:
loss of sea ice,
accelerated sea-level rise, and longer,
more intense heat waves.
The end of 2019 and the whole year of 2020 were disturbing years and these years affect us mentally, physically or both environmentally.
Where once only global warming was the reason for climate changes, now it has been turned into other things.
Moreover, covid-19 is an infectious disease that is spread from person to person. This virus spreads into the entire world and causes a lot of difficulties. Because this virus spreads into the air it causes lockdown besides it also increases the level of climate changes, therefore because bacteria spread into the air and after having in contact with the bacteria it is dangerous and causes you harm.
Thus, that is how covid become a cause of one of the reasons of climate-changing.
Many other aspects of global climate are changing as well. High-temperature extremes and heavy precipitation events are increasing, glaciers and snow cover are shrinking, and sea ice is retreating. Seas are warming, rising, and becoming more acidic, and flooding has become more frequent along the U.S. coastline.
Carbon dioxide is the main cause of human-induced global warming and associated climate change. It is a very long-lived gas, which means carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere with ongoing human emissions and remains in the atmosphere for centuries.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
