Introduction
Climate change occurs relatively slowly, whether natural or caused by human activity. However, it covers huge regions and can pose a serious problem for humanity. With significant climate changes, climate zones will shift, and as a result, people will have to rebuild their economic activities completely or partially in these zones. Further research is important because it will allow us to delve deeper into the essence of regional and global problems of our time and trace the future consequences of these changes.
Ultimately, further research on climate pollution and climate change will make it possible to make a geographical forecast for a particular territory or the planet for the next epoch. Ethical implications of this problem include finding a balance between an ecological solution that is equally acceptable for the life of humanity and ecology. A solution to climate pollution and climate change problems may be accelerating the abandonment of fossil fuels and reducing emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, including greenhouse gases.

This source contributes to solving the global social issue by focusing on the ocean’s key role as the main accumulator of solar energy in global climate change. This publication aims to study changes in the state of the ocean biota under the influence of external non-climatic factors, mainly solar activity. The article explains the mechanisms by which the deeper layers of the ocean store heat.
The evidence given by the authors consists of measuring these indicators using deep-sea thermometers. The relation of this paper to other sources on this topic is the relationship of processes occurring in the aquatic, aerial, and terrestrial environments. Each component affects the others, so it is necessary to study them comprehensively.

The need for clean air: The way air pollution and climate change affect allergic rhinitis and asthma. Allergy, 75(1), 2170-2184. Web.
Because climate change is directly impacted by the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, as estimated by scientists in this research, this source helps to solve the worldwide societal problem. This paper aims to study how, due to the work of heavy industry, oil and gas processing companies, landfills, and incinerators, the air becomes less usable. The content of the work includes the impact of air pollution primarily on people with chronic diseases of the respiratory system, such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.
It also draws a relationship between air pollution and the increase in diseases of this type. The evidence cited by scientists indicates that there are more than a million people in the United States with chronic inflammatory disease with respiratory tract damage. Climate change contributes to the heating of the air, which makes it dry and is the cause of the diseases considered in the article. The relation to other sources found on this topic is to consider climate change in terms of consequences. This article considers the consequences directly for the human body to complement the picture presented by other articles.

This source contributes to solving the global social issue, considering plastic garbage in the ocean as one of the leading factors of climate change. The purpose of this paper is to compile a graphical model of the distribution of suspended microparticles of plastic in the water column and the resulting electromagnetic field over the water, which is one of the causes of climatic pollution. This article lists the harmful effects of microplastics on ocean biodiversity.
It describes in detail how climate change leads to an increase in ocean temperature and the bleaching of coral reefs, to the destruction of habitat, and the death of marine species. The evidence cited by scientists is that the intensity of the geoelectric field at an altitude of 20 km above the areas contaminated with microplastics is about 130 V/m. Many negative natural phenomena are the discharge of excess energy above a certain threshold in this tension. The relation to other sources found on this topic is to reveal the properties of plastic, also mentioned in other articles, precisely in an aquatic environment.

Since warming and cooling in the lower and upper layers of the atmosphere offer a key to comprehending the underlying causes of climate change, the source helps solve the worldwide societal problem. This work aims to prove that references to natural factors alone are not enough to explain this change. The article includes increased CO2 in the atmosphere as the main cause of global climate warming. Scientists describe how burning coal or oil releases greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which retain solar heat and increase the temperature of the Earth.
The evidence cited by scholars is that long-term changes in temperature and weather conditions have accelerated markedly since the 1800s, when people began to actively use fossil fuels. The relation to other sources found on this topic consists of the introduction of background to understand how the sound directly affects the ability to breathe and lead a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, the climate changes in each country in different ways, and considering the Asian region specifically allows us to trace the influence of the processes discussed in other articles by example.

The source contributes to solving the global social issue by considering the effects of climate change, which must be taken into account when searching for a solution. The purpose of this work is to refute common myths about the effects of climate change and list the variants of their manifestations, which are usually not associated with climate pollution. The article’s content considers how the planet’s appearance changes and the reduction of its potential and already occurring biodiversity affect the psyche of the Earth’s dwellers.
Conclusion
Climate change is hitting people’s psyches in a variety of ways. It has long been known that natural disasters, of which there are more and more as the climate changes, have a devastating effect on mental health. The evidence cited by scholars is the statistics of the growth of psychological diseases and anxiety caused by the deterioration of the ecological state of the planet. The relation to other sources on this topic is that climate change results from the global climate system, consisting of several elements. This system has a complex mechanism of consequences and causes reciprocal changes in the psyche of people, which are discussed in this article.
