Climate Change vs. Environmental Change

This Climate Change vs. Environmental Change diagram depicts a long-term shift in the average weather patterns that illustrate Earth's local, regional, and global climates. These modifications have a wide variety of observed effects synonymous with the term. Changes in Earth's climate observed since the mid-twentieth century have been driven by human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, raising Earth's average surface temperature, as shown in this Climate Change vs. Environmental Change chart.
