    Global Climate Change

    Climate change refers to both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and large shifts in weather patterns. Scientists were concerned as early as the 1930s that increased CO2 from burning fossil fuels could cause climate change and melting ice caps. The largest driver of warming is CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels, with additional contributions from agriculture, deforestation, and manufacturing. The main effects of climate change are global warming, air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution, which threaten food security, water resources, health, and displacement.

    WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?

    DID YOU KNOW that the term "Global Climate Change" is not new. As
    early as the 1930s, scientists were concerned that "increased carbon
    dioxide from the burning of fossil fuel could cause CLIMATE CHANGE,
    possibly to the point of eventually melting the ice caps and flooding
    coastal cities. There’s also have been previous periods of climatic
    change, since the mid-20th century and humans have had an
    unprecedented impact on Earth's climate system and caused change on
    a global scale.

    Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced


    emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in
    weather patterns.

    On Earth, human activities are changing the natural greenhouse. The


    largest driver of warming is the emission of greenhouse gases, of which
    more than 90% are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Over the last
    century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the
    concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 with additional
    contributions from agriculture, deforestation, and manufacturing.

    This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon
    with oxygen in the air to make CO2. To a lesser extent, the clearing of
    land for agriculture, industry, and other human activities has increased
    concentrations of greenhouse gases.
    These are the ones that have the greatest impact on climate change:

    1.Carbon Dioxides
    2.Methane
    3. Nitrous Oxide
    4.Sulphur Hexafluoride
    5.Perfluorocarbons
    6. Hydrofluorocarbons
    CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS
    Some of the consequences of global warming have already been
    established by scientists. Here are some of them:

    1. Global Warming
    The main effect of climate change is of course global warming. With an
    increasingly rapid growth of the planet's temperature due to human
    activities such as deforestation, intensive agriculture, mining or over-
    consumption.

    2. Air pollution
    The main greenhouse gas is not counted as an air pollutant because it
    does not appear to affect health. However, there are links between
    climate change and global warming, such as the atmospheric
    concentration of some pollutants in the air.

    3. Water Pollution

    Water pollution and climate change are closely linked, both in rivers,
    seas and oceans. This pollution manifests itself in particular through
    changes in the flows of the various rivers, the increase in temperature
    and the pollutants concentration in the water.

    4. Land Pollution

    The soil is equally hard hit by climate change. Human activity is


    significantly changing the climate and the nature of soils, which are both
    very fragile and most of the time over-exploited.

    In addition to these, Climate change also threatens people with food


    insecurity, water scarcity, flooding, infectious diseases, extreme heat,
    economic losses, and displacement. Climate extremes, such as
    droughts, floods and extreme temperatures.
