Climate change results from prolonged shifts in global weather patterns, primarily due to human activities like fossil fuel burning, deforestation, and land use
change. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, accumulate in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing
planetary warming.
This warming yields various consequences such as more intense extreme weather events, rising sea levels, glacier and ice cap melting, and altered
ecosystems. The impacts extend to environmental and social realms, including water scarcity, food and energy insecurity, population displacement, and
health risks. Addressing climate change demands global collective action, emphasizing emission reduction, clean energy adoption, and adaptation to
ongoing changes.
