Climate and Energy

Climate refers to the long-term patterns of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a region. It shapes ecosystems and influences life on Earth. Energy, in this context, relates to the various sources used to power our homes, vehicles, and industries, including fossil fuels (like coal and oil), renewable sources (like solar and wind), and nuclear power. The way we produce and consume energy significantly impacts the climate. High carbon emissions from fossil fuels contribute to global warming, leading to climate change, which affects weather patterns, sea levels, and biodiversity. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources is crucial for sustainability.
