CLIMATE CHANGE What does the climate mean? Climate‚ like weather‚ describes the state of the atmosphere in terms of factors such as temperature‚ rainfall‚ and wind patterns. Whereas the weather describes conditions as measured in hours‚ days or weeks‚ the climate is average weather conditions measured over the longer term: months‚ years or decades. What is climate change? Any process that causes adjustments to a climate system – from a volcanic eruption to a cyclical change in solar

Climate change is defined as the significant fluctuations in weather patterns. These fluctuations could be caused by harmful human activities or even the natural processes occurring on Earth. It is also a broader term to describe global warming and all the changes that occur on a certain location’s climate. Some signs of climate change include higher temperature‚ frequent occurrences of droughts‚ warmer temperature of the oceans‚ rising sea levels and melting glaciers. It greatly affects the

Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth‚ humans are still a major part of it. Greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ absorb and emit heat in the atmosphere‚ keeping Earth warm enough to support life. However‚ human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels‚ are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases mean that more heat is being held in the atmosphere

To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage

Abstract Global warming is defined as a serious phenomenon recently and also it will impact the human health. The impact of the global warming on infectious diseases has been highlighted in this paper. The infectious diseases have been emphasized in two major classifications which are the water and the foodborne infectious diseases as well as the vector borne infectious diseases. Even if the global warming is not easy to solve‚ there are some methods should be taken to mitigate this phenomenon.

Climate change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions‚ or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions (i.e.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors that include oceanic processes (such as oceanic circulation)‚ variations in solar radiation received by Earth‚ plate tectonics and
