klímaváltozásról

Klímaváltozás refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. However, since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun's heat and raising global temperatures. These emissions include carbon dioxide and methane, which are released into the atmosphere and remain there for centuries.

The consequences of this warming are far-reaching. They include rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns leading to droughts and floods, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. Many communities around the world are already experiencing the impacts of climate change, and these impacts are projected to intensify in the future. Addressing climate change involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and adopting sustainable land-use practices. Adaptation measures are also crucial to help communities cope with the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
