    Climate change describes a change in average conditions like temperature and rainfall over a long period of time. It is caused by factors like deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, volcanic eruptions, and melting glaciers. Effects of climate change include rising sea levels, more extreme droughts and heat waves, changes in precipitation patterns, and more intense hurricanes. Solutions to prevent further climate change involve reducing deforestation and fossil fuel use, following the 3Rs of reduce, reuse and recycle, and spreading awareness about climate change issues.

    Global Outlook
    Climate Action Project
    Climate change describes a
    What is change in the average conditions 
    Climate such as temperature and rainfall
    in a region over a long period of
    Change? time.
    Causes of Climate
    Change
    • Deforestation - Deforestation can cause climate
    change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops,
    flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the
    atmosphere and a host of problems for indigenous
    people.
    • Excessive Emission Of Greenhouse Gasses - Air
    pollutants can cause several adverse environmental
    effects, such as photochemical smog, acid rain, death
    of forests, or reduced atmospheric visibility. 
    • Volcanic Eruptions - Volcanoes can change the weather.
    They can cause rain, thunder and lightning. Lava can
    kill plants and animals too. A volcano in 1980 killed an
    estimated 24,000 animals including 11,000 hares,
    6,000 deer, 300 bobcats, 200 black bears and 15
    mountain lions.
    • Melting Of Glaciers - Melting glaciers add to rising sea
    levels, which in turn increases coastal erosion and
    elevates storm surge as warming air and ocean
    temperatures create more frequent and intense coastal
    storms like hurricanes and typhoons.
    Effects Of Climate
    Change
    • Rise In Sea Level - Global sea level has risen by
    about 8 inches since reliable record keeping began
    in 1880. It is projected to rise another 1 to 8 feet by
    2100. This is the result of added water from melting
    land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
    • Increase In Droughts And Heat Waves - Summer
    temperatures are projected to continue rising, and
    a reduction of soil moisture. Droughts and heat
    waves everywhere are projected to become more
    intense, and cold waves less intense everywhere.
    • Changes in Precipitation Patterns - Average
    precipitation has increased since 1900, but some
    areas have had increases greater than the national
    average, and some areas have had decreases. More
    winter and spring precipitation is projected and less
    for the Southwest, over this century.
    • Hurricanes Becoming More strong and Intense
    - The intensity, frequency and duration of North
    Atlantic hurricanes, as well as the frequency of the
    strongest hurricanes, have all increased since the
    early 1980s.
    Solutions To Prevent
    Climate Change
    • Reduce Deforestation –  Reducing deforestation helps to
    prevent climate change as they absorb carbon – dioxide
    and give out oxygen which is vital for our living.
    • Reduce The Use Of Fossil Fuels -  Fossil fuels produce large
    quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon
    emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate
    change. The burning of fossil fuels is used for particularly
    for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for
    about three-quarters of our carbon emissions. So, it is
    important to reduce using fossil fuels.
    • Follow The 3 Rs - To stop climate change you can use
    the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. To start off every
    product has every step from manufacturing to disposal
    which leads to greenhouse gas problems. Reducing,
    Reusing and recycling means you buy less and throw away
    less.
    • Spread Awareness -  It helps people understand and
    address the impact of global warming, increases
    “climate literacy” among young people,
    encourages changes in their attitudes and behavior, and
    helps them adapt to climate change related trends.
