What is climate change?

• Long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other aspects of the Earth's climate system caused by human activities.

• Short-term changes in temperature and weather patterns caused by natural processes.

• Changes in the Earth's climate system caused by volcanic activity.

• Fluctuations in temperature and precipitation due to changes in the Earth's orbit.

What is global warming?
