Climate Change

Key Stage 3

Meaning

Climate Change is a change in the normal weather patterns across the world.

About Climate Change

The climate gradually changes over thousands and millions of years.
Climate change can cause deserts to get more rain, forests to become deserts, floods and droughts to happen more often, ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise. This can then cause organisms to become extinct, as well as famine and mass migration of humans.
Human activities like burning Fossil Fuels and deforestation are making climate change happen more quickly than normal. This is because the put more Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere and this traps the energy from sunlight causing the planet to get warmer.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

Climate Change is a long term change in the normal weather patterns across the world.

About Climate Change

Scientists believe climate change is currently being caused by global warming and the extent of climate change will increase if global warming continues at its current rate.
climate change caused by global warming can cause habitat destruction due to changes in weather patterns in many different ecosystems possibly causing drought, flooding, temperature rises or temperature falls depending on the location.
