Abstract
It is easy to recognize that Earth’s climate is changing. Scientists agree that the climate changes they observe are mostly caused by humans, primarily due to the greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels. Climate change has severe consequences—it leads to glaciers melting; sea levels rising; increased numbers of dangerous heatwaves, wildfires and droughts; decrease yields from food crops; and loss of ecosystems. We can monitor changes in Earth’s climate by tracking the global average temperature. In this article, we will introduce the concept of climate and discuss how Earth’s climate has changed in the past decades. We conclude with an explanation of the Paris Agreement, a treaty that nations have created to work together to limit global warming and to avoid the most dangerous of its impacts.
