NASA defines global warming as a rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature in the past century as a result of greenhouse gas emissions and the burning of fossil fuels. Due to the fundamental aspects of what the majority of experts agree is human-caused climate change, we must look at how we can prevent it from worsening.

Homeowners described making a variety of changes to their homes to protect against natural disasters triggered by climate change. Some of the changes they undertook were installing energy-efficient appliances, and monitoring their energy consumption and water usage.

Lighting also plays a major role. Not only do LEDs represent long-term savings for homeowners, but they also use 85 percent less energy than their traditional counterparts. Other important features included hardwood floors, homes built to withstand natural disasters, and homes in areas less known for natural disasters.

Homeowners considered close proximity to work and energy-efficient appliances to be important features when looking for a new home. They said they were willing to install solar panels and carpool to reduce their impact on the environment.
