    Climate change refers to changes in average weather conditions over long periods of time. Global climate change describes changes across the entire Earth, including rising sea levels, shrinking glaciers, and faster ice melting in polar regions. While Earth's climate has always changed, scientists have observed unusual changes recently, like increased average temperatures over the past 150 years. Human activities that produce greenhouse gases, like burning fossil fuels, are the main cause of current climate change by trapping more heat in the atmosphere. Individual actions like using less energy and water, and planting trees, can help address the problem.

    What Is Climate Change?

    Climate change describes a change in the average conditions — such as temperature and rainfall — in a
    region over a long period of time

    Global climate change refers to the average long-term changes over the entire Earth. These include
    warming temperatures and changes in precipitation, as well as the effects of Earth’s warming, such as:

    Rising sea levels

    Shrinking mountain glaciers

    Ice melting at a faster rate than usual in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic

    Changes in flower and plant blooming times.

    Earth’s climate has constantly been changing — even long before humans came into the picture.
    However, scientists have observed unusual changes recently. For example, Earth’s average temperature
    has been increasing much more quickly than they would expect over the past 150 years.

    What Causes Climate Change?

    There are lots of factors that contribute to Earth’s climate. However, scientists agree that Earth has been
    getting warmer in the past 50 to 100 years due to human activities.

    Certain gases in Earth’s atmosphere block heat from escaping. This is called the greenhouse effect.
    These gases keep Earth warm like the glass in a greenhouse keeps plants warm.

    Human activities — such as burning fuel to power factories, cars and buses — are changing the natural
    greenhouse. These changes cause the atmosphere to trap more heat than it used to, leading to a
    warmer Earth.

    ▪︎disadvantage of New Technology through climate change

    -Pollution. Because the general production and consumption levels have improved, the global pollution
    levels have also raised

    -Loss of Habitats

    -Ozone Layer Exhaustion


    - factory places

    ▪︎advantage of technology through climate change

    -Renewable energy, Modern environmental technology has enabled us to capture this naturally
    occurring energy and convert it into electricity or useful heat through devices such as solar panels, wind
    and water turbines, which reflects a highly positive impact of technology on the environment

    What Can You Do to Help?

    Scientists think we can do things to stop the climate from changing as much. You can help by using less
    energy and water. Turn off lights and TVs when you leave a room. Turn off the water when brushing
    your teeth. You also can help by planting trees.

    Another way to help is by learning about Earth. The more you know about Earth, the more you can help
    solve climate problems.
