    Climate change is driven by both human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and resulting shifts in weather patterns. While the climate has changed before, human activity since the mid-20th century has caused unprecedented global warming through greenhouse gas emissions, over 90% of which are carbon dioxide and methane from fossil fuel burning and agriculture. This human-caused climate change is accepted by all scientific bodies and is accelerating temperature rise through feedbacks such as reduced ice and increased water vapor, with effects including rising sea levels and temperatures that threaten global health, ecosystems, and livelihoods.

    CLIMATE CHANGE

    Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-


    induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-
    scale shifts in weather patterns. Though there have been 
    previous periods of climatic change, since the mid-20th century
    humans have had an unprecedented impact on Earth's climate
    system and caused change on a global scale.

    Warmer temperatures are increasing rates of evaporation,

    Impacts on ecosystems include the relocation or extinction of


    many species as their environment changes, most immediately
    in coral reefs, mountains, and the Arctic.

    Climate change threatens people with food insecurity, 


    water scarcity, flooding, infectious diseases, extreme heat, 
    economic losses, and displacement.

    These impacts have led the World Health Organization to


    call climate change the greatest threat to global health in
    the 21st century.

    Even if efforts to minimize future warming are successful, some


    effects will continue for centuries, including rising sea levels,
    rising ocean temperatures, and ocean acidification.
