Climate change refers to significant alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth’s climate system over extended periods, typically decades to millions of years. It is primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), trap heat and lead to a warming effect known as global warming. Climate change results in a variety of impacts, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, changes in ecosystems and biodiversity, and significant implications for agriculture, health, and overall human wellbeing. Though climate change can naturally occur due to factors like volcanic eruptions and solar radiation variations, the current trends are largely attributed to anthropogenic (human-caused) influences, prompting global efforts for mitigation and adaptation.
