One of the main causes to global warming is greenhouse gases. One of the effects from global warming is climate change. Climate chang increases sea levels. One of the future effects from global warming is less fresh water.
Climate change, due to global warming, recently has been increasing amounts of extreme weather such as floods and droughts. It also has been effecting peoples health. To help reduce effects of global warming people need to reduce the amount they rely on fossil fuels.
This website describes for researchers that are maybe doing a project. To explain what the difference between weather and climate is.
weather:Weather is the state of the atmosphere at any given place and time in terms of temperature.
cliamte: climate consists of the overall weather conditions.
