Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate patterns, particularly an increase in temperature due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This leads to an enhanced greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Climate change impacts weather patterns, leading to more extreme weather events, shifting ecosystems, rising sea levels, and various effects on biodiversity and human health. It encompasses both natural climate variations and anthropogenic factors that accelerate these changes, highlighting the urgency for global sustainability efforts and environmental policies to mitigate its impacts.
