What is meant by climate change?


1 Answer


Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time.

Climate change is basically any systematic change in long term statistics of climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, pressure or wind sustained over several decades or longer period of time. Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting trees and rain forest which adds enormous amount of green house gases on top of those naturally occurring and because of this global warming is getting worse and resulting in climate change.
