Causes of Climate Change Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature‚ precipitation‚ winds‚ and other indicators. Climate change can involve both changes in average conditions and changes in variability‚ including‚ for example‚ extreme events. The earth’s climate is naturally variable on all time scales. However‚ its long-term state and average temperature are regulated by the balance between incoming and outgoing energy‚ which determines the Earth’s

This article explains how climate change has been rapidly melting the Arctic over the course of a few years. As a result‚ the faster the arctic melts the more damage will be done to the ecosystem‚ planet‚ and humans.
