Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of Earth’s climate patterns—primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial emissions that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It affects global temperatures, weather systems, ocean currents, and ecosystems, leading to rising sea levels, more intense storms, droughts, wildfires, and biodiversity loss. Climate science combines atmospheric physics, oceanography, geology, and ecology to understand these shifts and predict future impacts. Ongoing research focuses on mitigation strategies like renewable energy, carbon capture, and reforestation, as well as adaptation efforts to protect communities, agriculture, and natural systems from escalating climate risks.
