What is climate change?
What is climate change?
Climate change is meteorological and temperature changes in the long term. Over time, an area’s climate can warm up, receive less precipitation, or experience more droughts.
Global warming is the rising of the global temperature due to an increase in greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun. Therefore, they contribute to global warming. They include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and hydrofluorocarbons.

What causes climate change?
What causes climate change?
As greenhouse gas emissions blanket Earth, they trap the sun’s heat. This process leads to global warming and consequently climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history.
How will climate change affect us?
How will climate change affect us?
Higher temperatures worsens disasters, such as storms, heatwaves, floods, droughts.
Dirtier air.
Higher wildlife extinction rates.
Higher sea levels.
How can you help?
How can you help?
Educate yourself. It's better to know what's happening than be clueless.
Turn off the lights and unplug your devices. Half of the electricity is wasted when not used.
Walk or bike to school if you live close to it.
Take shorter showers and use less water.
What is the Greenhouse Gas Effect?
What is the Greenhouse Gas Effect?
The greenhouse effect is the process in which the emission of greenhouse gas, hovering in the atmosphere, accumulate as clouds to form a thick layer blocking the natural infrared radiation rejected by the planet's surface.
