CLIMATE

CHANGE
BY AJIK & AYRILL
DEFINITION
Climate change is the significant
variation of average weather
conditions becoming, for example,
warmer, wetter, or drier—over several
decades or longer. It is the longer-
term trend that differentiates climate
change from natural weather
variability.
INTRODUCTION
Climate change, as its name implies, refers to significant
alterations in Earth’s climatic conditions. Several factors
have contributed to these changes over centuries. However,
recent changes primarily resulting from human activities are
having detrimental effects on the atmosphere.

Researchers continuously study climate patterns to

understand both the past and future conditions. They gather
and update climate records based on geological evidence,
including records of flora and fauna, glacial and periglacial
processes, sea level records, borehole temperature profiles,
and sediment layers.

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
Impact on Forests and Wildlife
Climate change has led to the
extinction of numerous plant
and animal species and
threatens many others with
extinction. Forests are
shrinking, and some regions are
experiencing mass tree
extinctions.
Impact on Water
Changes in climate
conditions have adverse
effects on the water system.
Glacier melting and
unpredictable rainfall
patterns disrupt
environmental equilibrium.
 CONCLUSION
Climate change is a global challenge that stems from a
combination of natural forces and human activities. While we
cannot control natural forces, it is within our power to mitigate
the impact of human activities that contribute to adverse
weather patterns. Preserving environmental harmony on Earth
necessitates responsible and sustainable practices, reduction of
carbon emissions, and global cooperation. By taking concerted
action, we can address this critical issue and secure a more
sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants.
