Climate change
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun's activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas, agriculture and inadequate land use. In the “Climate Change” topic, the activities designed aim to illuminate the pressing issue of deforestation and its pervasiveness, raise awareness about the impact of climate change on the local flora and fauna and use satellite data to monitor and understand how global warming is decreasing the amount of sea ice, and how this may be changing important ocean currents.
