Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other elements of the Earth’s climate system, primarily attributed to human activities, especially the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon leads to various impacts, including rising global temperatures, shifting weather patterns, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels, which can affect ecosystems, wildlife, and human societies. Climate change encompasses both the gradual changes over decades and centuries, as well as more intense natural events attributed to changing climate conditions. It has become a critical global concern, prompting international efforts to mitigate its effects and adapt to its consequences.
