Climate Change and Its Impacts
Climate change, driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and
deforestation, has far-reaching consequences on our planet. The increase in
greenhouse gases traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to rising global
temperatures. This phenomenon results in melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and
more frequent extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts.
The environmental impacts of climate change are profound. Species face habitat loss
and extinction, disrupting ecosystems and biodiversity. Furthermore, agriculture and
food security are threatened as changing weather patterns affect crop yields and water
availability.
