 - 1. Climate change refers to long-term changes in global or regional climate patterns. These changes are primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The impacts of climate change are far-reaching and include rising global temperatures, more frequent and severe natural disasters, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and disrupted ecosystems. Addressing climate change requires collective action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to clean and renewable energy sources, and adapt to the changing climate conditions to protect our planet and future generations.
