What is Climate Change?

Climate change is a significant long-term change in the earth’s weather pattern. Because of various factors, the global temperature is now rising rapidly, which we call global warming. Global warming is a serious issue, but some people still are unaware of it, or simply don’t care. Because of the fast rising temperature, many glaciers are melting, resulting in floods and animals losing their homes. Also, natural disasters such as droughts and wildfires are occurring more often, causing forests and other plants to die out. Heat waves are another concern, because they may cause a variety of health issues.
