What you need to knowClimate change
As the vast majority of us know, Climate change includes both global warming
and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Increased heat,
drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased
wildfires. Declining water supplies, ,reduced agricultural yields, health impacts
in cities due to, heat and flooding and erosion
in coastal areas are additional concerns.
People tend to be using the terms
global warming and climate change interchangeably but it should be mentioned
that global warming is just one aspect of climate change. Global warming refers
to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere while climate change are the increasing
changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time – including
precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns. Earth’s climate has constantly
been changing even long before humans came into the picture. However, scientists
have observed unusual changes that Earth’s average temperature has been
increasing much more quickly than they would expect over the past 150 years.
