Climate change is the significant variation of average weather conditions becoming, for example, warmer, wetter, or drier—over several decades or longer.
As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history.
Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.
- Hotter temperatures. As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the global surface temperature. …
- More severe storms. …
- Increased drought. …
- A warming, rising ocean. …
- Loss of species. …
- Not enough food. …
- More health risks. …
- Poverty and displacement.
One of the most dangerous effects of climate change was the ozone hole and also the first time all the countries agreed on something together.
The stratospheric ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet light, which damages DNA in plants and animals (including humans) and leads to sunburns and skin cancer.
In the early 1980s, through a combination of ground-based and satellite measurements, scientists began to realize that Earth’s natural sunscreen was thinning dramatically over the South Pole each spring. This thinning of the ozone layer over Antarctica came to be known as the ozone hole.
