global climate change

Global climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth's average temperatures and weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These actions increase greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to global warming. This warming affects ecosystems, sea levels, and weather patterns, resulting in more extreme weather, loss of biodiversity, and challenges to food and water security. Addressing climate change requires collective action to reduce emissions, transition to renewable energy, and adapt to its impacts for a sustainable future.

    Global climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns on Earth, driven primarily by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This leads to increased greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere, resulting in a warming planet. Consequences include more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and altered ecosystems, which affect agriculture, wildlife, and human health. Addressing climate change requires international cooperation, innovative technologies, and individual actions to reduce emissions and promote sustainability for future generations.
