Climate changes occur due to human activities and natural causes. Climate Change Climate change happens slowly and is not noticeable until after many decades.

Changes in Earth’s orbit affect the amount of sunlight absorption on Earth. Differences in the sun’s intensity or the sun’s rays cause warmer weather with higher intensity or cooler temperatures with lower intensity, respectively. Natural Climate Change Climate changes result from natural causes such as changes in ocean patterns, Earth’s orbit, volcanic eruptions, and the sun’s intensity. Volcanic eruptions result in gas releases such as aerosol and carbon dioxide.

Human Activity and Climate Change Human activities that release greenhouse gases lead to climate changes. Human activity in the last century seems to have accelerated climate change. Climate change caused by human activity is both a threat to creation and a symptom of damage to creation. Human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels change the atmosphere’s composition.

Effects of Climate Change When the climate changes, farmers have a hard time adapting to the changes. Changes in the weather can lead to droughts, changes in irrigation, water quality, and fish farming. Climate change affects the environment and the ecosystem.
