Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate and weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities, especially the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. These changes include increases in global temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events. Climate change is often discussed in the context of its environmental, economic, and social impacts, leading to concerns about sustainability and the future viability of ecosystems and human societies. The term encompasses both the long-term trends in climate and the short-term variability associated with these changes. Efforts to mitigate climate change focus on reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
