There is something wrong with our planet and we experience it every day personally.
The clothes in our closets do not match what is required for external temperatures. Either there is a sudden frost or heat that does not decrease even when it should.
It is clear now that we are referring to climate change that has been going on for many years, but we have only begun to pay the consequences recently. Here is how some places have been altered due to climate change.
