Climate Change

 

We experience sometimes that the weather is much colder and sometimes much warmer, it is because of the climate change.
Climate change is a long-term significant change in the weather patterns of an area. It has a main cause which is the Global Warming. Global warming is an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.

Green house effect is when fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, which contain carbon are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Vehicles are also maker contributors to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Many scientists think that the Green house effect may change the climate by the next hundred years or so. One of the results is the so-called "Global Warming", resulting from green house effect could be melting of polar ice.

This could lead to rise of sea level which could flood areas of coastal lands.
Climate can change quite quickly for variety of other reasons. One fact is in a tropical country that only had two weathers- rainy and sunny. Tropical countries are sometimes experiencing abnormal weather conditions like its strong hot in the morning to afternoon then a heavy rainfall in the evening.
