Humans have not had a very pleasant ride when it comes to climate change and its effects. It generally isn’t in our favor and even when it is, it still often leads to catastrophes all around the globe. One of these current trends that has caused massive amounts of damage in our constantly changing climate is rising sea temperatures. Massive amounts of resources have been sucked up in order to combat and investigate this rising sea temperature trend. This rising sea level trend poses a massive…

A long-term transformation in Earth’s climate over time. It is a a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature: Melting glaciers imply that life in the Arctic is affected by climate change. This could be a change in a place normal temperature for a month or season. It refers to any distinct change in measures of climate lasting for a long period. In other words, it means major changes in temperature, rainfall, snow, or wind patterns lasting for decades or longer. Climate…
