Climate change, also called global warming,

refers to the rise in average surface temperatures

on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus
maintains that climate change is due primarily to
the human use of fossil fuels, which releases
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into
the air.
What is the impact of climate change?
Climate change affects all regions around the
world. Polar ice shields are melting and the sea is
rising. In some regions extreme weather events
and rainfall are becoming more common while
others are experiencing more extreme heat waves
and droughts. These impacts are expected to
intensify in the coming decades.
How bad is global warming?
How does climate change affect global
warming?
Global warming is increasing the frequency and
intensity of some types of extreme weather. For
example, warming is causing more rain to fall in
heavy downpours. There are also longer dry
periods between rainfalls. This, coupled with more
evaporation due to higher temperatures, intensifies
drought.
What are the consequences of global
warming?
Effects that scientists had predicted in the past
would result from global climate change are now
occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level
rise and longer, more intense heat waves.

So some global warming is good. But if extra

greenhouse gases are made, the thermal blanket
gets thicker and too much heat is kept in the
earth's atmosphere. That's when global
warming's bad.
