What Is Climate Change?

You may have heard people talking about climate change, and how important it is, but what is it?

Well, climate change is more than just one simple explanation. But, in a nutshell climate change is a significant warming of our Earth, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas that release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and warming the planet at an accelerated rate.
