I have selected a perfect website that could help me with my project on climate changes. Indeed, I needed a website that provides me with detailed information on what is climate change.

As I read the introduction, my understanding on climate changes widen. I could clearly understand what was meant by climate change. By the term ‘climate change’ I am more or less able to come up with the meaning of it which is the long term effect on shift in statistics of the weather.

Another thing that I learnt is that climate change, global warming and the greenhouse effect are related. As we know, climate change occurs mainly because of the change in statistics of the weather. This happens mainly because the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is actually the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere which leads to global warming which is the increase of Earth’s surface temperature.

Thus, climate change does not occur by itself but due to other changes and effects such as global warming and greenhouse gases. After reading this article, I got a rough idea on what is climate change and how it occurs.
