Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average temperature and weather patterns of Earth over extended periods, typically decades or longer. It encompasses both natural processes and human-induced changes, primarily driven by the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane due to activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The consequences of climate change include rising global temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. Climate change poses significant risks to ecosystems, human health, agriculture, and economies worldwide, prompting global efforts to mitigate its impacts by transitioning to sustainable energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
