• Climate of the world is changing at a rapid speed.
• Changes in climate can be:
changes in average temperature
changes in rainfall patterns
changes in humidity level of a
place.

GREENHOUSE EFFECTGREENHOUSE EFFECT
• Greenhouse gases like CO2 and H2O form a blanket above the earth surface.
• They trap the solar heat.
• This leads to warming of the atmosphere.

This leads to :• More drought • more flooding• less ice and snow• extreme weather • rising sea level
