Climate Change Its Causes and Effects

CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth.
An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due primarily to the human use
of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap
heat within the atmosphere, which can have a range of effects on ecosystems, including rising sea levels,
severe weather events, and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires.
