Climate Change

Climate change refers to the long-term, significant alteration of global and regional climate patterns, a critical area of study within atmospheric and Earth sciences. While Earth's climate has varied naturally, the current rapid warming is overwhelmingly driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a rise in global average temperatures and causing a cascade of effects, including more frequent and intense extreme weather events, melting ice sheets, rising sea levels, and significant disruptions to both natural ecosystems and human societies.
