What is Climate Change?
... Climate change has been happening for thousands and thousands of years due to natural causes like volcanism and solar and orbital variations. In the past century however, the temperature of the earth has increased by 0.8% and scientists believe that the temperatures will be rising by a further 3 - 6 ...
