Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average temperature and weather patterns of the Earth. It encompasses a variety of long-term shifts in temperatures, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions resulting from both natural processes and human activities. The most pressing aspect of climate change today is the increase in global temperatures due to the rising concentrations of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon leads to numerous environmental impacts, including more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. Climate change poses significant challenges to human society, including impacts on agriculture, water supply, health, and overall economic stability. Addressing climate change involves mitigation strategies to reduce emissions and adaptation measures to cope with its effects.
