- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of studying Earth systems and climate change. It explains that Earth systems, such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere, help us understand how the planet works and supports life. The article also highlights the impact of human activities on Earth systems and the current drought conditions in the United States, particularly in the southwest and western states. It emphasizes the need for proactive measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, including improving irrigation methods, desalination, demand management, and respecting the rights and interests of Native American tribes. The article concludes by suggesting various ways individuals can contribute to reducing the effects of climate change, such as using renewable energy sources and supporting local businesses that promote climate-smart practices.
