| Abstract | ||||
| Climate change in Egypt has led to ecological homogeneity, deteriorated coral reefs, vector-borne disease infection, food insecurity, less water supplies, flooded coastal areas, demolished human habitat and community, and temperature discrepancies. This is not surprising, as carbon dioxide is primarily responsible for the earth's and air's rapid temperature rise. In order to handle probable corrosion and degradation of Alexandria, the coast, and other areas, Egypt is now working on drafting a national plan for climate change adaptation in addition to its first national strategy for climate change. Also look into other crop varieties that are resilient to harsh weather. Eventually, this article serves as a first examination of the difficulties communicators encounter when delivering their message to climate skeptics in an effort to reduce carbon radiation and air contamination. This paper collected data through a survey to test the climate skepticism among youth to determine the epistemic and response skeptics using the quantitative method. The results show that females are more response skeptics than males, and males are more epistemic skeptics than females. There is no relationship between age and being a climate skeptic. Nonetheless, communicators should address both types of skepticism differently, focusing on high public participation on social media. Considering the significance of the findings, understanding Egypt's regional circumstantial aggravation estimates is accommodating. It directs the community and residents to the administration of environment resilience. | ||||
