    Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns. While some climate change is natural, human activity since the 19th century has been the main driver through burning fossil fuels. Examples of climate change effects include rising sea levels, loss of glaciers and ice sheets, and more extreme weather. Climate change affects human health by impacting air and water quality and increasing disease, while animals struggle with less food and reproduction as temperatures rise.

    Climate change

    By: Joshua Kentish


    What is climate change Current climate
    Climate change change includes both anthropogenic global
    warming and its impact on global
    meteorological patterns. There have been
    periods of climate change in the past, but the
    changes now are faster than any known event
    in Earth's history.
    How does it happen

    Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather


    patterns. These changes may be natural, but human activity has been the main
    driver of climate change since the 19th century, primarily due to the burning
    of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, etc.) that produce heat storage gas. I am.
    Examples of climate change
    These phenomena include not only the rising trend of temperature
    explained by global warming, but also changes such as sea level rise. Loss
    of ice sheets in Greenland, Antarctica, the Arctic and mountain glaciers
    around the world. Blooming flowers / plant changes; extreme weather. "

    How are people effected by it

    By affecting the quality of the air and water, spreading some


    diseases more widely, and changing the frequency or severity
    of extreme weather events, climate change can also have an
    effect on human health. Coastal habitats and communities are
    in danger due to rising sea levels.
    Effects on animals

    Due to changes that result in less food, less


    successful reproduction, and interference with the
    environment for local wildlife, rising temperatures
    reduce the survival rates of many species. Our
    National Capital Area parks already show the effects
    of these negative developments.

    Global warming
    What is global warming
    Global warming is the gradual warming of the Earth's surface that has
    been seen since the pre-industrial era (between 1850 and 1900), and is
    attributed to human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, which
    raises the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
    This phrase should not be used in place of "climate change."

    How does it happen

    These greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water
    vapor, and chlorofluorocarbons. World warming, often known as excess heat in
    the atmosphere, is the gradual increase in the average global temperature.
    Climate change has emerged as a complication of global warming.
    Overall, glaciers are melting at a faster rate.

    Examples Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean around the North Pole
    is melting faster with the warmer temperatures.
    of global Permafrost is melting, releasing methane, a

    warming powerful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

    Sea levels are rising, threatening coastal


    communities and estuarine ecosystems.

    How it effects Climate change has made it harder for both
    people and wild animals to survive. Droughts
    humans and that are more frequent and extreme, storms,
    heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers,
    animals and warmer oceans can all directly injure
    animals, destroy the habitats they rely on for
    survival, and have a disastrous impact on
    people's way of life and communities.
