Climate Change

Climate Change is the term used for variations in global temperature and weather caused by a number of gases present in the atmosphere. It is a natural process that has been made worse by human activity.

It is thought that the effects of climate change will take the form of extreme weather conditions - hotter, drier summers and wetter winters. There will be more floods and droughts, more devastating storms and there is evidence that the polar ice caps are beginning to melt.
