Tag: Climate Change
Climate change refers to long-term alterations in global temperature, weather patterns, and ecosystems, primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities increase greenhouse gas concentrations, trapping heat in the atmosphere and leading to effects such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events.
The impacts of climate change are widespread, affecting agriculture, biodiversity, and human health. Efforts to mitigate these effects focus on reducing emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and promoting sustainable practices. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation and innovation to protect the planet for future generations.
