About climate change
Human activity is changing the global climate through emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, which artificially warm the earth’s atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels is largely to blame. The impacts of climate change on people and nature are far reaching and are already being felt.
