Climate variability includes all the variations in the climate that last longer than individual weather events, whereas the term climate change only refers to those variations that persist for a longer period of time, typically decades or more. In the time since the Industrial Revolution, the climate has increasingly been affected by human activities that are causing global warming and climate change.

4.)
Climate change is a change in the usual weather found in a place. This could be a change in how much rain a place usually gets in a year. Or it could be a change in a place's usual temperature for a month or season. Climate change is also a change in Earth's climate
2.)
Human activity is the main cause of climate change.
People burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests to agriculture.
2.)
1.)
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, people have burned more and more fossil fuels and changed vast areas of land from forests to farmland. Burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
3.)
1.)
• 1. Plant trees 2. Create more sustainable transportation habits 3. Lower your heating bill
2.)
4. Divest from coal, and encourage others to do the same 5. Eat less beef 7. Advocate for a healthy planet
•Become a climate warrior
3.)
Preventing global warming is more important than ever. We’re the last generation that can change the course of climate change, and will be the first to face its consequences if we don’t act now.
• Temperature will continue to rise ! • Frost free season will be lengthen
2.)
1.) • Changes in precipitation pattern • More droughts and heavy waves
•Hurricanes will •become more stronger and more intense !

Famous personalities ..
Rhianna Gunn-Wright Policy While working in Detroit’s department of health in the mid-2010s, Rhiana Gunn-Wright realized how the environment shapes a wide range of social– justice issues. The government urgently needed to address climate change, she thought, but “you weren’t going to solve the problem with just solar panels,” she says. “People were being poisoned.” Now, Gunn-Wright is bringing that holistic approach to the national level, working behind the scenes at New Consensus, a think tank with ties to progressive lawmakers
Hilda Heine Governance Climate change is literally at Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine’s doorstep. “Around my house, I have had to build a seawall,” she says, “because there is water coming over from the shoreline.” The sea is encroaching quickly on President Heine’s low-lying Pacific island state, and over the past four years, the government has had to put in place adaptive measures like building coast–protection systems and seawalls, she says. Heine has taken to the international stage to share the story of her country and the difficult decisions her compatriots are facing, including the possibility of relocating
Kate Marvel Science In blog posts, tweets and podcasts, Kate Marvel cuts through misinformation about climate change with storytelling. “I don’t see doing science and talking about the science as mutually exclusive things,” she says. In 2013, as a postdoctoral researcher with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Marvel helped discover that human activity has almost definitely changed global rainfall patterns. Today she’s an associate research scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University, where she recently partnered with colleagues to study climate models and tree rings, and discovered that climate change has been affecting drought since 1900.
