Global warming and climate change

Global warming and climate change are among the most pressing issues facing the world today. The scientific community has been warning us for decades that human activities are causing the Earth's temperature to rise, and that this warming trend is causing significant changes to our planet's climate.

What is Global Warming?

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in the Earth's average surface temperature caused by the release of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the planet to warm up. The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes are the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to the long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. Climate change is caused by a variety of factors, including natural processes such as volcanic eruptions and changes in the Earth's orbit, as well as human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
