Climate changes refer to significant alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth’s climate system over extended periods, typically decades to millions of years. These changes can be natural, driven by factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation fluctuations, and tectonic shifts. However, recent climate changes are predominantly attributed to human activities, notably the increase in greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change is leading to global warming, resulting in rising sea levels, more intense weather events, shifts in wildlife populations, and disruptions to ecosystems. Monitoring and addressing climate changes is crucial for sustainability, environmental health, and the future of life on Earth.
