Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly a rise in global temperatures due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This phenomenon results from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
