Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability
What is " Climate Change? "
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation, and other aspects of the Earth's climate. It is caused by a variety of factors, but the most significant contributor is human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and gas) and deforestation. These activities release greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause the Earth's temperature to rise. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
