• Climate Change Today: what changes have already occurred and how we know humans are responsible; • Our Future Climate: what changes could happen in the future depending on the actions we take; • Limiting Future Climate Change: what is required to stop global temperature from continuing to rise. ˜ndings about climate change are continually analysed and tested. Some areas of active debate and ongoing research include the link between ocean heat content and the rate of warming, estimates of how much warming to expect in the future, and the connections between climate change and extreme weather events. Climate change science seeks to understand the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes, and the interactions among these processes, that produce climate. The scales of interest range from local to global and from weeks or months to millions of years.

Climate change (sometimes called global warming) is the process of our planet heating up. Our planet has already warmed by an average of 1°C in the last years and if things don’t change, it could increase by a lot more than that. Climate change refers to a shift in average weather conditions, including measures such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, cloudiness and wind patterns – and changes in the frequency or severity of these conditions.
