Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns and global temperatures due to human activities , particularly the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide(CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), trap heat from the sun and cause the Earth's surface to warm. The primary driver of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production , transportation, and industrial processes.
