Climate Change
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth's climate, particularly an increase in average temperatures due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon is characterized by alterations in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Climate change is driven primarily by the accumulation of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere, which trap heat and disrupt the natural climate system. The implications of climate change are far-reaching, impacting ecosystems, human health, agriculture, water resources, and global economies, necessitating urgent actions to mitigate its effects and adapt to its consequences.
