Climate change refers to significant, long-term changes in global temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. While natural factors contribute, the current rate of change is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels which releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
Effects include rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and ecosystem disruption. Mitigation strategies include transitioning to renewable fuels, carbon capture, and international agreements.
