Changes in Earth’s Atmosphere Climate change, better known as “Global Warming” or “Greenhouse Effect” is caused by an emission of heat- confined gases produced by vehicles, industrial development, power plants and deforestation. As these gases build up, they began to over heat the Earth causing our health, environment and economy to be effected. Climate change has become a widespread problem. If we do not protect our nature, climate change will soon ruin the terra firma (land) and irrigation we

proportion. Global warming has a direct affect on everyone and everything on this planet. Global warming affects not only our weather when it comes to heat but also precipitation to include snow, rain and hail. Global warming also causes a negative effect on animals. Animal species have no longer populated certain areas due to the climate change and in due to the climate they need to survive are migrating to where they can get that. Scientist and professionals say that the sea levels have increased

Causes of Climate Change Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature, precipitation, winds, and other indicators. Climate change can involve both changes in average conditions and changes in variability, including, for example, extreme events. The earth's climate is naturally variable on all time scales. Factors that cause climate change can be divided into two categories - those related to natural processes and those related to human activity
