Climate Change
The term climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and
weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through
variations in the solar cycle or even due to human activity. But since the
1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change,
primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. The clearing of
green zones also contributes to climate change. The depletion of the
ozone layer is a significant effect of climate change and has been felt in
many places over the Earth in the form of unseasonal rains and winters.
How and When Did it Start?
The climate started changing a long time ago due to human activities
such as the cutting of trees, and air and water pollution from factories but
we came to know about it in the last century. During the last century, we
started noticing climatic change and its effect on human life. We started
researching on climate change and came to know that the earth’
temperature is rising due to a phenomenon called the Greenhouse
Effect. The warming up of earth’s surface causes the layer of ozone to
be depleted. It affects our crops. agriculture, water supply,
transportation, and several other problems. It also leads to unexpected
changes in climate and its effects like droughts and floods leads to loss
of human and property loss.
