Abstract

Joshua Mersky*

Climate change is a global phenomenon that refers to the long-term changes in the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. The primary cause of climate change is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, deforestation, and industrial processes. The effects of climate change are widespread and include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and shifts in ecosystems.
