WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

A change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity

that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is the addition to
natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.

CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE

It is caused by trapping excess carbon in Earth’s atmosphere. The trapped carbon
pollution heats up, altering the Earth’s climate patterns. While carbon has
entered the atmosphere for millions of years through natural events such as
forests fires and volcanoes, the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of land has
resulting the highest levels of greenhouse pollution in our atmosphere in the last
800,000 years. The burning of fossil fuels (such as coal and oil) for energy is the
largest source of this pollution.
