As you might have already guessed it, Climate Change can be and is an environmental challenge facing us on a global scale.
Take for instance the Greenhouse Effect. This climate change problem is related to changes in the concentration of the greenhouse gases (water vapour, CO2, CH4, N2O, and CFCs), which trap infrared radiation from the Earth's surface and thus cause the greenhouse effect. This effect is a natural phenomenon, which helps maintain a stable temperature and climate on Earth.
But human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and some industrial processes have led to an increase in greenhouse gases concentration. Consequently, more infrared radiation has been captured in the atmosphere, which causes changes in the air temperature, precipitation patterns, rising sea-levels, and the melting of glaciers. |
