WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
Climate change is the change in weather
for a specific place such as change in
usual temperatures and rainfall rates.
3. WHY IS CLIMATE CHANGE HAPPENING ?
Our Earth is surrounded by a blanket of
greenhouses gases(GHG) ,which trap the
heat to maintain the earth temperature at
a level suitable for humans and the earth
ecosystems.
The GHG blanket got thicker and the earth temperature
has increased by 0.6 to 0.9 DegC , leading to
CO2 Levels today have
reached to a risky level
GlobalWarmingandClimateChange
Due to human activity , the greenhouse
gases concentration has increased
drastically following the industrial
revolution in the nineties.
