Description
The climate of the Earth is always changing. In the past it has altered as a result of natural causes. Nowadays, however, the term climate
change is generally used when referring to changes in our climate which have been identified since the early part of the 1900's. The
changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted over the next 80 years are thought to be mainly as a result of human
behaviour rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere.
