Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate, particularly those caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and changes in weather patterns. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events (like hurricanes and droughts), shifts in ecosystems and wildlife populations, and impacts on human health and agriculture. Climate change is a critical global issue with far-reaching implications for the environment, economies, and societies worldwide.
