What is the
Climate Change?
 Climate Change
● Is a change of climate which is
attributed directly or indirectly to
human activity that alters the
composition of the global
atmosphere and which is in
addition to natural climate
variability observed over
comparable time periods.
 Causes of Climate Change
This phenomenon is caused by
trapping excess carbon in Earth’s
atmosphere. This trapped carbon
pollution heats up, altering the
Earth’s climate patterns.

The largest source of this pollution is

the burning of fossil fuels for energy.
 Why is it getting
warmer?
Earth’s atmosphere has evolved to retain sufficient warmth
from the sun to encourage a healthy, dynamic ecosystem,
while shielding us from its harsher effects. The introduction
of huge amounts of excess pollutants thickens this blanket
of protective gases, causing heat to remain trapped within,
rather than harmlessly escaping skywards. These gases can
remain in our atmosphere for up to 90 years, contributing to
long-term warming
