How Climate Change Affects Human Health Over the last 50 years‚ human activities – particularly the burning of fossil fuels – have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap additional heat in the lower atmosphere and affect the global climate. In the last 100 years‚ the world has warmed by approximately 0.75°C. Over the last 25 years‚ the rate of global warming has accelerated‚ at over 0.18°C per decade.

The Climate Crisis Global warming: an increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. Given the definition it may not sound as scary as it actually is. The whole process of global warming is a science in itself. It may also be known as `the climate crisis’ because scientists believe that the occurrence of such extreme temperatures will bring our earth to turmoil
