Causes of Climate Change: Understanding the Crisis and Its Impact
Climate change is a long-term shift in global temperature and weather patterns mainly driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrialization, and improper waste management. These activities increase greenhouse gases, triggering global warming and leading to severe impacts like melting ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, economic damage, and public health risks. While the crisis is accelerating, climate solutions like emission reduction, renewable energy adoption, forest restoration, climate-resilient infrastructure, and international climate agreements can slow the damage and protect future generations.
