Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other atmospheric conditions on Earth. The very fabric of our natural world is under siege by an enemy of our own making. Detrimental activities burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, increase the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and lead to global warming, which in turn affects various aspects of the environment and human life.
