    Climate is defined as the average weather pattern in a place. Global warming has caused air temperatures to rise 0.13 to 0.23 degrees Celsius per decade, the most rapid increase in the last 12,000 years. The main cause of climate change is human activities like burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide levels have increased from 280 ppm to 385 ppm currently, and are projected to reach 450 ppm by 2040 if emissions continue, causing an additional 1 degree Celsius rise in temperature.

    What is climate?

    climate is the average pattern of weather in a place.

    Global Warming
    0.13

    to 0.23 degree Celsius is risen in air temperature per decade. It is the most the rapid increase of temperature in the last 12000 years.

    The main cause toward climate change!

    Human activities that are...


    major

    contributors to possible climate change:

    coal,

    oil, and natural gas, when burned release carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas

    Carbon dioxide emission


    Carbon

    dioxide concentration has increase from 280ppm(parts per million by volume) to now 385ppm. If current emission rate of carbon dioxide continue, it will rise until 450ppm by year 2040. Every rise of 40ppm will bring one degree of Celsius in air temperature. The emission rate is 2 to 3 ppm per years.

    modest contributors to possible climate change:

    deforestation:

    when wood is burned, the carbon contained in the trees is released as carbon dioxide. When wood rots in swamps methane can be produced. Living trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
