Climate Change refers to significant and long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth’s climate system. It is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a rise in global temperatures, extreme weather events, sea level rise, and disruptions to ecosystems. Climate change poses serious risks to natural and human systems, impacting agriculture, water supply, health, and biodiversity. The phenomenon is a major topic of scientific research and international policy, focusing on mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation measures to cope with its effects.
Dramatic, dark clouds foretell impending storms with cooler temperatures dropping to 10-12°C by morning. Midday temperatures stabilize around 14°C, affecting both coastal and inland regions like Marseille, Aix, and Var.…
