Climate Change

 

NASA states that, “Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.” Consequences of climate change include but are not limited to: land and ocean temperatures increasing, polar ice caps melting, and sea levels rising. Climate change could destroy life as we know it, so it’s important to become educated on such an intense topic. Take a look at these websites and articles to learn more about climate change:
