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.
