Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather within the context of longer-term average conditions. Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have been identified as primary causes of ongoing climate change, often referred to as global warming.[1] There is no general agreement in scientific, media or policy documents as to the precise term to be used to refer to anthropogenic forced change; either "global warming" or "climate change" may be used.[2][3][4]

Climate Change

- by Taylor

Human activities which have a significant impact on the climate are the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, whether in homes, factories, vehicles or in other ways.

Burning fuels releases carbon dioxide gas, a greenhouse gas, besides others. Since the early 1800s, when people began burning large amounts of coal and oil, the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere has increased by nearly 30%, and average global temperature appears to have rice and over by 1°C.

Such a temperature rise will cause changes in the amount and pattern of rain and snow, in the length of the growing seasons, in the frequency and severity of storms, and in the sea level. Farms, forests, plants and animals would also be affected. Humans also cannot escape the effects of this and hence should do their bit to save the environment.
