Ch. 2 | Our Changing Climate. Global climate is changing rapidly compared to the pace of natural variations in climate that have occurred throughout Earth’s history. Global average temperature has increased by about 1.8°F from 1901 to 2017, and observational evidence does not support any credible natural explanations for this amount of warming; instead, the evidence consistently points to human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse or heat-trapping gases, as the dominant cause..

To know the difference between the terms Weather and Climate.. Weather is the day to day condition of air at a particular place. .. Weather changes every day. . Changes in weather conditions give rise to seasons. In India we enjoy three seasons –summer, winter and monsoon. .
