ClimateChange
What is it?
Climate change occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns that remain in place for an extended period of time. https://climateactionnetwork.ca/what-is-climate-change/
Global Warming
DescriptionGlobal warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. It is a major aspect of climate change and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. https://www.livescience.com/37003-global-warming.html

The Effect of Climate Change/Global warming
Forests, farms, and cities will face troublesome new pests, heat waves, heavy downpours, and increased flooding. All those factors will damage or destroy agriculture and fisheries.
Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and Alpine meadows could drive many plant and animal species to extinction.
Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern Seaboard, especially in Florida, and in other areas such as the Gulf of Mexico.
Allergies, asthma, and infectious disease outbreaks will become more common due to increased growth of pollen-producing ragweed, higher levels of air pollution, and the spread of conditions favorable to pathogens and mosquitoes.
Melting glaciers, early snowmelt, and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages and increase the risk of wildfires in the American West.

NOT IN A BAD WAY
Green house Effect
Climate change issue
Changes in rainfall patterns are predicted to have an adverse impact on Indonesian agriculture, due to shorter rainy seasons. Indonesia experienced crop losses and adverse impacts to fisheries as a result of climate change as early as 2007. By 2020, climate change had impacted Indonesia's fishermen.
as what the name said, the greenhouse effect work just like a greenhouse. it (atmosphere) trapped the heat given from the sun. Gases in the earth such as Carbon Dioxide, trap the heat just as how a glass roof work in a greenhouse https://climatekids.nasa.gov/greenhouse-effect/
1900-1999
2000-2010
1712, British ironmonger Thomas Newcomen invents the first widely used steam engine, paving the way for the Industrial Revolution and industrial scale use of coal.
1800, World population reaches one billion.
1886, Karl Benz unveils the Motorwagen, often regarded as the first true automobile.
1900, Another Swede, Knut Angstrom, discovers that even at the tiny concentrations found in the atmosphere, CO2 strongly absorbs parts of the infrared spectrum. Although he does not realise the significance, Angstrom has shown that a trace gas can produce greenhouse warming.
1927, Carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and industry reach one billion tonnes per year.
1930, Human population reaches two billion.
1960, Human population reaches three billion.
1989, Carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and industry reach six billion tonnes per year.
1999, Human population reaches six billion.
2006, Carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and industry reach eight billion tonnes per year.
2011, Human population reaches seven billion and Data shows concentrations of greenhouse gases are rising faster than in previous years.
2013, The first part of the IPCC's fifth assessment report says scientists are 95% certain that humans are the "dominant cause" of global warming since the 1950s.
Greenhouse gases are those that emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by Earth. Carbon dioxide (0.04%), nitrous oxide, methane, and ozone are trace gases that account for almost one-tenth of 1% of Earth's atmosphere and have an appreciable greenhouse effect.
