Climate Change

Climate change describes changes in expected patterns of weather. They can be defined by the differences between climate conditions at two separate times. Climate may change in different ways, over different time scales and at different geographical scales. In recent times, scientists have become interested in global warming, due to mankind's impact on the climate system, through the enhancement of the natural greenhouse effect.
