because of climate change” Before I start lets define first what was climate change is. Climate change or also known as Global Warming‚ refers to the rise in average temperatures on earth. This is due to primarily human use of fossil fuels‚ which releases carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere‚ which can have a range of effects on ecosystems‚ including rising sea levels‚ severe weather events‚ and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires. Isn’t it climate change

How does a climate change influence water resources? Climate change is the biggest challenge that we face in the world today. It is already leading to significant changes in the world’s physical environment. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. Glaciers are melting. Sea ice and snow cover are declining. Animals and plants are responding to earlier seasons. Global warming has already driven up mean sea levels by 110-20 centimetres during the last 100 years‚ and this is forecast to

GE Chapter 1. Historical Background Historical Background to the Study of Climate Change In the 19th century‚ scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere caused a "greenhouse effect" which affected the planet’s temperature. These scientists were interested in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century‚ Svante Arrhenius calculated that the emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming
