Climate change has brought about possibly permanent alterations to Earth's geological, biological and ecological systems.[
1] These changes have led to the emergence of a not so large-scale environmental hazards to human health, such as extreme weather
,[2]ozone depletion, increased danger of wildland fires,
[3] loss of biodiversity,
[4] stresses to food-producing systems and the global spread of infectious diseases.[5] The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 160,000 deaths, since 1950, are directly attributable to climate change.

Burning fossil fuels
When we burn fossil fuels like coal, and gas to create electricity or power our cars, we release CO2 pollution into the atmosphere.
Australians are big producers of CO2 pollution compared to the rest of the world. Our level of CO2 pollution per person is nearly double the average of other developed nations and more than four times the world average.
Electricity generation is the main cause of carbon pollution in Australia as 73% of our electricity comes from burning coal and 13% from burning gas. The remaining 14% comes from renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind, which do not emit carbon.
Reducing the amount of electricity generated from coal and gas, and increasing the amount of electricity from clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind, means less carbon pollution is emitted. This is one of the main ways we can address global warming.
