Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other aspects of the Earth’s climate system. It is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a rise in global temperatures, known as global warming. The implications of climate change are vast, impacting ecosystems, weather patterns, sea levels, and biodiversity. It also poses significant risks to human health, agriculture, and economies worldwide, necessitating urgent action to mitigate its effects and adapt to changing conditions.
