Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate patterns, particularly those associated with an increase in average global temperatures due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon leads to various environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns, and shifts in ecosystems and wildlife populations. Climate change is primarily driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat and disrupt natural climate systems. The term encompasses both long-term changes and short-term variabilities in the climate, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation strategies to address its effects and adapt to new climatic conditions.
