Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, primarily due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. This phenomenon leads to a variety of environmental impacts, including rising global temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and rising sea levels. The term encompasses changes that have been observed over an extended period, typically decades to millions of years, but contemporary climate change is largely driven by industrialization, deforestation, and fossil fuel consumption. The scientific consensus emphasizes the urgency to address climate change through mitigation strategies aimed at reducing emissions and adaptation tactics to cope with its effects, as it poses serious threats to ecosystems, human health, and economies worldwide.
