Climate change
Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of temperature and weather patterns on Earth caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The primary driver of climate change is the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the planet.

The Changing Face of Weather: Understanding and Adapting to Our Climate
Introduction: Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and the effects of a changing climate can be seen in the weather patterns all around us. From heat waves to hurricanes, droughts to floods, it's clear that the weather is becoming more extreme and unpredictable. It's a well-established scientific fact that the Earth's climate is warming and that human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, are the main cause of this warming. In this blog post, we will delve into the science behind these changes and discuss the impact on weather patterns. We will also talk about the steps that individuals, communities and governments can take to adapt to a new normal.

Why is the Arctic warming so much faster? New
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the planet due to a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This occurs because as the polar regions warm, ice and snow melt, exposing darker land and water surfaces that absorb more solar radiation, causing even more warming. Additionally, the loss of sea ice in the Arctic can also cause more warming by altering ocean currents and weather patterns. Greenhouse gases are the main driver of this warming, with the majority of the warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities.
