Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, primarily due to human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These actions increase the concentration of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and alterations in weather patterns. Climate change manifests in various ways, including rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (like hurricanes, droughts, and floods), shifts in wildlife populations and habitats, and impacts on agriculture and food security. It is a major global issue that threatens ecosystems, human health, and economies, necessitating urgent action and international cooperation to mitigate its effects and adapt to its consequences.
