Climate change and extreme weather
Climate change refers to the long-term changes in the climate that occur over decades, centuries or longer. It is
caused by rapidly increasing greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere due primarily to burning fossil fuels (e.g.,
coal, oil, and natural gas).
Extreme events are occurrences of unusually severe weather or climate conditions that can cause devastating
impacts on communities and agricultural and natural ecosystems. Weather-related extreme events are often
short-lived and include heat waves, freezes, heavy downpours, tornadoes, tropical cyclones and floods.
Climate-related extreme events either persist longer than weather events or emerge from the accumulation of
weather or climate events that persist over a longer period of time.

Volcanic tornado!
A spinning vortex of air, the volcanic
tornado is formed by the intense heat,
which causes air to rise rapidly and stretch
to form a column. If it is within a boundary
where surface winds are converging, this
column can begin to rotate, creating a
twister that can potentially fling bits of lava
out of its interior.
