Q: What is climate change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

These shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun's activity or large volcanic eruptions.

But since the 19th century, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, which increases emissions of greenhouse gases that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising temperatures. .
