Climate change refers to the long-term variation in the average weather patterns that have come to define the Earth's local and regional climates. It has become one of the most pressing issues of our time, with scientific evidence indicating that it is primarily caused by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and cause the planet's average surface temperature to increase. This temperature increase, also known as global warming, leads to a range of impacts including rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heat waves, stronger hurricanes, and changes in precipitation patterns. The main cause of increased GHG emissions is the burning of fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industrial processes. Deforestation and land use changes also contribute to the problem by reducing the capacity of the land to absorb c...
