The Earth's climate has changed throughout history.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely  to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century. Technological advances have enabled us to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.
As we see in the chart, the heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century. The rate of the carbon dioxide rises day after day. So, It will effects us in every way.

Interview: Michael Bloomberg on Climate Change Optimism

# data[].attributes.body
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has answered some questions about climate change.

Why did you become involved in the fight against climate change?

To save lives.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Climate change as a cause for optimism? It might sound counterintuitive, but former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to give us hope for the fight ahead. In the new book Climate of Hope, Bloomberg and co-author Carl Pope look at promising climate change solutions and lay out practical steps to achieve them. Tackling global warming will not only make us healthier and wealthier, they argue - but we can do it ourselves, right now, without waiting for the White House to catch up.

Why did you become involved in the fight against climate change?

To save lives. The biggest sources of the carbon emissions that are warming the planet also pollute the air we breathe - especially coal. That pollution leads to death and disease. In 2010, about 13,000 Americans were dying from coal pollution. Today, that number is down to 7,500, and the reason is that nearly half of U.S. coal plants have closed or switched to cleaner sources of power.
What was the motivation for writing Climate of Hope?
Carl Pope and I come from different political backgrounds, but we share a sense of optimism about our ability to fight climate change - and amidst all the doom and gloom you hear, we wanted to explain why. The book makes the case that we should reverse the usual ways of thinking about climate change. Instead of focusing on top-down policies from Washington, we should focus on bottom-up actions by cities, businesses and citizens. Instead of scaring people with doom and gloom scenarios that are decades away, we should inspire them by showing the immediate health and economic benefits that come from taking action now. And instead of thinking about the issue as a single massive problem, we should look at it as a series of manageable challenges - each with a solution that will make our lives better and our economies stronger. When people find out about the immediate benefits that fighting climate change can bring to their everyday lives, they support action - but too few leaders are talking about those benefits. We hope our book begins to change that.
Given the recent political turmoil in the U.S., are you still optimistic about the future of our country and our planet?
Our ability to fight climate change doesn't depend on the White House or Congress. The U.S. is already halfway to our Paris commitment of reducing carbon emissions 26 percent by 2025, and Washington has had very little to do with that. The reason for the sharp drop in emissions is that cities, states, businesses and citizens understand the health and economic benefits of fighting climate change. They are taking action, and there's nothing Washington can do to stop them.

Following the federal government's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, thousands of cities and business have come forward to affirm their commitment to helping the U.S. meet our Paris goal. Bloomberg Philanthropies is leading an effort to measure their collective potential to reduce emissions. With that data, we will create our own version of the Nationally Determined Contribution that every other nation submitted as part of the Paris Agreement. We're calling this commitment "America's Pledge," and just as every other nation has done, we will outline a plan for reaching our commitment and publicly reporting our progress, so that the world can hold us accountable. The American government may have withdrawn from the agreement, but the American people remain committed to our goal.
What climate change solutions are you most excited about?
Fighting climate change is one of our greatest opportunities for improving lives - especially in the world's cities. Parks and trees make cities more beautiful, and they also suck carbon and soot out of the air. Energy efficiency reduces emissions while cleaning the air and saving money. Bike lanes and mass transit make it easier to get around town while also shrinking city carbon footprints. These are just a few of the steps that help cities attract new residents and businesses while also strengthening the economy. In New York City, we cut our carbon footprint by 19 percent while also far outpacing the nation in job growth.
In your book, you note that markets are failing to reflect the benefits of switching to a low-carbon economy. What the first steps we need to take to address these flaws?
Climate change poses serious risks to the economy, but right now, companies don't have the right tools to accurately measure those risks. That prevents them from taking protective measures and reduces the incentive to invest in things that will help protect them in the long term. Where risk data does exist, it isn't standardized from company to company. That means investors don't have a way to compare apples to apples and reward companies that are taking action. Bloomberg Philanthropies is supporting two important efforts underway to fix these flaws: The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, which is focused on U.S. companies, and the global Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Both groups have released sets of recommendations for helping companies measure and report risks, and we're working to help spread them.
What role does marine conservation play in fighting climate change?
Today, around three billion people depend on fish as a primary source of protein or income. Demand for fish is rising while fish stocks are shrinking, which poses serious public health and economic risks. Bloomberg Philanthropies is working with Oceana and other partners to help depleted fish populations rebound. Healthy fish populations aid the fight against climate change, because fish has a lower carbon footprint than beef and other types of meat.
Poor fishing communities in tropical nations will be among the hardest-hit as the world heats up. What are the most effective ways to help these communities?
In addition to reducing emissions, we can help those communities manage their fish stocks and protect coral reefs, something that we're working to do through our Vibrant Oceans partnership with Rare and Oceana. Those steps help make coastal areas more resilient to the possible impacts of climate change. At the same time, wealthy countries have pledged to provide $100 billion each year to developing countries adapt to climate change - and we should make good on that promise.
What can Oceana's supporters do to help win this battle?
Help to change the conversation. Explain how fighting climate change protects people's health while at the same time strengthening economies, and explain how cities, businesses and citizens can lead the way. The more minds we can change, the more progress we can make.

Other than being aware as I stated before, I wanted to write about what can we do. After having awareness and raising it, we should just take action. Here are some of the things we can do:

-using renewable energies like wind, solar, biomas etc. rather than fossil fuels.

-reducing our consumption of energy by using devices that saves energy (LED bulbs, innovative white goods etc.)

-using public transportation, carpooling etc.

-recycling

There are so many things we can do about this topic. But as a start, I believe that the first thing we can do about climate change, even though we do not think it is the most necessary and crucial thing for this topic, is raising awareness.
Because a change starts personally, it happens cumulatively. By increasing awareness in small groups, we can reach larger groups, so that we can lead a huge change for our world in time.
Thus, the change occurs with awareness.

From ancient times to today, world has a change always. These changes occur because of many effects and sometimes these changes can cause some problems. The best example of it is the increase of some gases like carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, ozone, nitrogen oxide. They are also known as the greenhouse effect gases. Changes in these gases cause climate change around the globe. The term "climate change" refers to a rise in the average global temperature due to an increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases, resulting in numerous climatic shifts and impacts. . The term climate change is nearly associated with the temparature.  This is a real phenomena and heath is going up in the world for decades. Many sources and experts say that the climate change has became a real problem with the Industrial Revolution. From this, we can see the association between gases and climate change. And it can also knowm as the Global Warming.

Climate change is a term used to describe the change in the statistical properties of the climate system over a prolonged period.

Therefore, changes that occur over periods shorter than a few decades, such as El Niño, are not considered to be climate change.

It can be caused by biotic processes, fluctuations in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, and because of human activities.

Climate change is currently occurring and it is largely caused by human activities, posing significant risks for human and natural systems.

Researchers are constantly trying to learn more about past and future climate through observations and theoretical models. Scientists use general circulation models in theoretical approaches to make future climate projections and link causes and effects.

The causes of climate change

There are internal forcing mechanisms (natural processes within the climate system itself), external forcing mechanisms (from outside our climate system), and human factors. Climate forcing mechanisms "force" the climate to change.

Internal forcing mechanisms

Operates from within the climate system. The earth's climate system includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Examples of internal forcing mechanisms include changes in ocean currents and the distribution of species.
Ocean
The ocean is a key part of the earth's climate system. However, according to MIT, "the oceans are among the most poorly known and understood, because of the enormous difficulty of probing the deep layers which are still basically void of observations, and the sparseness of data in the southern ocean."

According to a study published in Journal of Climate, by Dietmar Dommenget, titled "The Ocean's Role in Continental Climate Variability and Change":

"A characteristic feature of global warming is the land-sea contrast, with stronger warming over land than over oceans."

"The ocean's natural variability and change is leading to variability and change with enhanced magnitudes over the continents, causing much of the longer-time-scale (decadal) global-scale continental climate variability."

"Model simulations illustrate that continental warming due to anthropogenic forcing (e.g., the warming at the end of the last century or future climate change scenarios) is mostly (80%-90%) indirectly forced by the contemporaneous ocean warming, not directly by local radiative forcing."
Life
Life can also cause climate change because of its role in carbon and water cycles. Examples of how life has had an impact in the past include: glaciation, which occurred 2.3 billion years ago, and is widely believed to be caused by the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.

External forcing mechanisms

External forcing mechanisms operate from outside the Earth's climate system, and include orbital variations, fluctuations in the solar energy flux, as well as anthropogenic factors (human activities).
Orbital variations
Changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun can have an impact on seasonal and latitudinal distribution of solar radiation.

There are three types of orbital variations, including changes in Earth's eccentricity, variations in the tilt angle of Earth's axis of rotation, and precession of Earth's axis.

These changes are known as "Milankovitch Cycles" and occur on time scales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. In certain locations the change in energy can be over 10 percent and are known for their correlation to glacial and interglacial periods.

Human factors

There are also anthropogenic factors that can affect the climate. Scientists have concluded that "climate is changing and that these changes are in large part caused by human activities," and it "is largely irreversible."

According to the United States National Research Council, "Advancing the Science of Climate Change":

"Science has made enormous inroads in understanding climate change and its causes, and is beginning to help develop a strong understanding of current and potential impacts that will affect people today and in coming decades. This understanding is crucial because it allows decision makers to place climate change in the context of other large challenges facing the nation and the world. There are still some uncertainties, and there always will be in understanding a complex system like Earth's climate."

"Nevertheless, there is a strong, credible body of evidence, based on multiple lines of research, documenting that climate is changing and that these changes are in large part caused by human activities. While much remains to be learned, the core phenomenon, scientific questions, and hypotheses have been examined thoroughly and have stood firm in the face of serious scientific debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations."
Greenhouse gases
The warmth of the sun is what makes life on Earth possible. Some of the solar radiation from the sun is bounced back into space, while a small portion is trapped by gases in our atmosphere, acting as a layer of insulation.

Carbon dioxide is the most important gas in this layer of insulation.

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

According to The David Suzuki Foundation, our atmosphere now has 42 percent more carbon dioxide than before the industrial era.

The increased amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has turned it into a thick heat-trapping blanket, which causes our climate to change - making it warmer.

Below is an image representing atmospheric carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, from 1960 through 2010. It shows a steady increase in carbon dioxide concentration (ppmv). The image is evidence of the man-made increases in greenhouse gases that are believed to be causing climate change.
Image created by Robert A. Rohde using NOAA published data. Consumption
Consumption beyond our basic needs has been one of the major human factors causing climate change. The goods we demand are becoming increasingly more disposable, thus creating an extremely large amount of waste. In addition, as demand for goods increases the extraction for resources increases. Finally, the disposal of goods also requires energy, the majority of which comes from fossil fuels - increasing CO ₂ levels in our atmosphere.
Deforestation
When forests are cleared or disturbed, carbon is released as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases - contributing to global warming. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, around one fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation and forest degradation.

Effects of climate change

The effects of climate change include: higher temperatures, changing landscapes, putting wildlife at risk, rising seas, land erosion, stronger storms, more heat-related disease, as well as economic losses.
Higher temperatures
The Earth's average temperature has increased by one degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century to the highest level in over 400 years. Scientists believe that this is the fastest rise in the average temperature of our planet in a thousand years.

If human factors contributing to climate change isn't cut back scientists predict that by the end of the century average surface temperatures could rise by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

The five hottest years on record have all occurred in the past decade.
Rising sea levels
When the temperature of the planet increases then sea levels rise. This is because warmer water takes up more space than cool water - thermal expansion. As sea temperatures rise glaciers also start melting, which dumps more water into our oceans.

Rising sea levels poses a significant threat to low-lying areas and islands. It can erode shorelines, threaten coastal population, and destroy ecosystems.

Over the past century sea levels have risen between four to eight inches.
Threat to wildlife
The increase in our planet's temperature changes vegetation patterns, which forces species to move into different areas to survive.

The speed at which climate change is occurring is thought to exceed the migration and adaption abilities of many species. Scientists estimate that a quarter of the Earth's species will be on the verge of extinction by 2050 if global warming continues.

The Nature Conservancy says that "polar bears could be gone from the planet in as little as 100 years."

Seawater reacts with the CO2, which is reducing the pH of the oceans. Scientists predict that by the end of the 21st century the pH of the world's oceans will decline to 7.7, compared to 8 today.

According to a study published in the The Royal Society journal Interface, titled "Ocean acidification alters the material properties of Mytilus edulis shells", mussel's shells are becoming more brittle as climate change causes oceans to become increasingly acidic.

With weaker shells, mussels will find it harder to withstand the ocean forces.

Dr Fitzer, lead author of the study, said:

"What we've found in the lab is that increased levels of acidification in their habitats have a negative impact on mussels' ability to create their shells."

"We worked with colleagues in our School of Engineering to examine the toughness of the shells of the mussels in the more acidic water against those in control conditions. What we found was that the calcite outer shells of the mussels past a certain threshold of acidity was stiffer and harder, making it more brittle and prone to fracture under pressure, and the aragonite inner shell became softer."
Coral bleaching
With global warming continuing at such an alarming rate ocean temperatures are expected to rise. Scientists predict that climate change will soon cause one of the worst coral bleaching episodes in history.

Coral reefs provide food and shelter for a wide vast number of small fish and marine species and the health of these reefs is key to sustainable biological diversity.
More intense hurricanes and tropical storms
Some scientists believe that climate change can cause hurricanes and tropical storms to become more intense. This means that storms and hurricanes may last longer, have stronger winds, and cause more damage to costal communities and ecosystems.

The reason behind this is that as the sea temperature rises then developing storms will get more energy from the sea.
Economic loss
Climate change is having an impact on economies around the world. According to a British government report, if action is not taken to cut down global carbon emissions then it could cost between 5 and 20 percent of the annual global gross domestic product.

The same report said that it would only cost 1 percent of GDP to cut the damaging effects of climate change.

In addition, more severe hurricanes and downpours could cause damage to property and infrastructure that would cost billions of dollars.

Evidence of climate change

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change:

"In recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems on all continents and across the oceans. Impacts are due to observed climate change, irrespective of its cause, indicating the sensitivity of natural and human systems to changing climate."

"Changes in many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since about 1950. Some of these changes have been linked to human influences, including a decrease in cold temperature extremes, an increase in warm temperature extremes, an increase in extreme high sea levels and an increase in the number of heavy precipitation events in a number of regions."

Below is a presentation of the "Climate Change 2014: Synthesis Report". It provides detailed evidence of climate change occurring as well as outlining the threats it poses.

Climate change is the catch-all term for the shift in worldwide weather phenomena associated with an increase in global average temperatures. It's real and temperatures have been going up around the world for many decades.

Reliable temperature records began in 1850 and our world is now about one degree Celcius hotter than it was in the period between 1850 and 1900 - commonly referred to as the "pre-industrial" average.

The change is even more visible over a shorter time period - compared to average temperatures between 1961 and 1990, 2017 was 0.68 degrees warmer, while 2016 was 0.8 degrees warmer, thanks to an extra boost from the naturally-occurring El Niño weather system.

While this temperature increase is more specifically referred to as global warming, climate change is the term currently favoured by science communicators, as it explicitly includes not only Earth's increasing global average temperature, but also the climate effects caused by this increase.

Global efforts are now focussed on keeping temperatures from increasing more than two degrees above that pre-industrial average, and ideally no more than 1.5 degrees. That goal may still be possible if the international community pulls together.

What are the effects of climate change?

Morgana Wingard/Getty Images

The effects of anthropogenic - human-caused - climate change range from more frequent and severe droughts to snowstorms and extreme winter weather in temperate regions as a result of warming Arctic weather fronts.

It's not only humans that are affected. Warming ocean temperatures are increasing the frequency of coral reef bleaching; warmer, drier weather means that forests in some regions are no longer recovering from wildfires and wildlife habitats around the world are becoming less hospitable to animals.

Climate change is having economic and socio-political effects, too. Food security is already being impacted in a number of African countries and researchers are studying suggestive links between climate change and an increased likelihood of military conflict.

We're already seeing the first climate refugees as people are displaced by rising sea levels, melting Arctic permafrost and other extreme weather.

What are the causes of climate change?

We are. While a wide range of natural phenomena can radically affect the climate, publishing climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that global warming and resultant climate effects that we're witnessing are the result of human activity.

Life on Earth is dependent on an atmospheric "greenhouse" - a layer of gasses, primarily water vapour, in the lower atmosphere that trap heat from the sun as it's reflected back from the Earth, radiating it back and keeping our planet at a temperature capable of supporting life.

Human activity is currently generating an excess of long-lived greenhouse gasses that - unlike water vapour - don't dissipate in response to temperature increases, resulting in a continuing buildup of heat.

Key greenhouse gasses include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide is the best-known, with natural sources including decomposition and animal respiration. The main source of excess carbon dioxide emissions is the burning of fossil fuels, while deforestation has reduced the amount of plant life available to turn CO2 into oxygen.

Methane, a more potent but less abundant greenhouse gas, enters the atmosphere from farming - both from animals such as cattle and arable farming methods including traditional rice paddies - and from fossil fuel exploration and abandoned oil and gas wells.

Chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons - once widely used in industrial applications and home appliances such as refrigerators - were key greenhouse gasses released during the 20th century, but are now heavily regulated due to their severe impact on the atmosphere, which includes ozone depletion, as well as trapping heat in the lower atmosphere.

Our warming climate is also creating a feedback loop as greenhouse gasses trapped in Arctic permafrost are released.

Why is climate denial a thing?

For many years, oil companies were heavily invested in pushing the narrative that fossil fuels did not have an impact on climate change. To this end, they bought advertising and funded organisations to cast doubt on climate change, even while their own research conclusively showed that fossil fuels are a major contributing cause of climate change.

This is still playing out in ongoing lawsuits against oil companies, but even giants such as Chevron now publicly acknowledge the role that fossil fuel use has played in changing our climate. Now, their key defence is that it's the fault of fossil fuel consumers for using it, rather than of the companies that extracted, marketed and profited from oil.

Definition of Climate Change

Nasa defines climate change as: "a broad range of global phenomena created predominantly by burning fossil fuels, which add heat-trapping gases to Earth's atmosphere. These phenomena include the increased temperature trends described by global warming, but also encompass changes such as sea level rise; ice mass loss in Greenland, Antarctica, the Arctic and mountain glaciers worldwide; shifts in flower/plant blooming; and extreme weather events."
