About This Lesson
Climate change is a major and lasting change in weather conditions. Today, climate change is mainly caused by global warming. The gas carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released from burning coal, oil, and natural gas, builds up in the Earth’s atmosphere and traps in too much heat. The heat causes ocean temperatures to rise, making conditions for extreme weather more common.
