The article “Climate Change” owned by National Geographic society and the article “Fact sheet: Administration Announces New Initiative to Increase Solar Access for All Americans” owned by office of energy efficiency and renewable energy, highlights background information’s, causes and modern solution for the climate change. Throughout the earth’s history, the climate has consistently changed. While occurring normally, this is a slow process that took hundreds of years but the human-impacted environmental change that is going on now is occurring at a lot quicker rate. The scientists of NASA and others around the world declared the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a reason for the drastic change in the climate. This change in the climate has resulted in the devastation of natural habitats and the decline of various sectors. Climate change might make weather patterns to be less predictable. These unexpected weather patterns can make it hard to keep up with and develop crops in the regions that rely on farming because expected temperature and rainfall levels can no longer be relied on. This drastic climate change also resulted in more frequent and intense typhoons, floods, downpours, and winter storms. The article “Administration Announces New Initiative to Increase Solar Access for All Americans” focus on the action plan proposed by President Obama in June 2013 to protect the United States from the impact of climate change. This action plan had three main objectives: 1. Cut carbon pollution in America – According to President Obama’s action plan, carbon pollution in the United States can be reduced by cutting the emission of carbon from powerplant and by promoting renewable energy. The fuel economy standards were increased, the estimates show that “the greenhouse gas emission will be reduced by approximately 270 million metric tons and save 530 million barrels of oil” (president action plan 8).  2. Prepare the U.S. for the impact of Climate change- Initiative include. “Building stronger and safer infrastructure and communities, conserving land and water and promoting Insurance leadership for climate safety” (President’s action plan).  3. Lead international efforts to combat Global climate change and prepare for its impact- The U.S. formed partners with countries to develop new transformational low carbon technologies and to reduce the emission of greenhouse gages. Also, the negotiation of global free trade in environmental goods and services reduced tariffs for clean energy technologies. (President action plan).

          The articles “Can Social Media Save Our Planet from Climate Change?” (Whiting, Tabitha), “When Social Media Meets Climate Change.” (Chetwynd, Josh), “Use Social Media to Combat Climate Change Awareness” (Limited, Jamaica Observer), and “#ClimateChange Social Media Movement” (Faramarzi, Sachdev and Palmer) highlights how social media is used as a tool to make people aware about climate change. Starting in the early 2000s social media has had a strong presence in modern society, social media is used as one of the effective mediums of communication. Now a days social media is not only used to share our pictures or videos, but it is also widely used to make awareness about many social issues, there are many pages and groups in social media where people share their thoughts and ideas about a particular topic which remove boundaries of time and distance, bringing together similar minded people. Climate activists have used nearly every popular social media platform to advocate for their cause. Twitter and Facebook are the most popular social media used for this kind of awareness and protests. For instance, Earth League International, World Conservation Congress, Stand Earth, COP26 and UN climate change are some of the pages we can find on Instagram which deals with environmental issues, they share awareness pictures, posts, and articles about the issue. When it comes to environmental issues companies recognize the value of social media. According to Grist.com, “In the four weeks leading up to the 2018 midterm elections, the five oil majors spent 2 million dollars on targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram aimed at eroding support environmental initiatives.”  Popularity gives power on social media sometimes in 2016 when Leonardo DiCaprio mentioned climate change in his Oscar acceptance speech, it led a spike in global warming discussion on Twitter and as DiCaprio continued to speak on the subject, he retained a role as a major influencer on that platform. Social media plays a major role when organizing things, when kids in 112 different countries planned to coordinate a school walkout to bring attention to climate change, social media was essential, students used social media to reach out to other people.
