 Climate Change (Global Warming):
is a process by which the
Earths' atmosphere is changing over a period of
time. Some of the causes are; to the build up of
green house gases, the Earths orbit, variations in
solar activity, plate tectonics, volcanoes,
deforestation and lastly human activity.
Climate is
the
prevailing weather conditions (winds, temperature,
air pressure, humidity, rain, sunshine, and
cloudiness) of a region or the earth over a long
period of time i.e. decades, centuries and longer
periods of time. Weather on the
other hand is the condition of a region or Earth
over a short period of time such as days or weeks. |
 The
short term effects of climate change is the increase
number and intensity of all sorts of storms,
draught, wildfires, storm surges, desertification,
hunger, migrations, poverty and human misery. The
long term effects will be mass extinction, increase
in temperatures beyond the capability for the earth
to maintain a balance for human, plants and animals.
