Global warming and climate change: What's the difference? This time, we're going to talk about a hot topic: climate change. Here, we'll discuss the effects of this phenomenon briefly and simply, as well as how it differs from another popular term: global warming. By Roberto Diaz Blanco Although the terms climate change and global warming are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not synonymous. The evidence is obvious that the Earth is warming. Climate change is a word that is widely used to describe environmental devastation around the world. Climate change - what is it? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), any major change in climatic measurements that lasts for an extended length of time. As a result, climate change encompasses considerable variations in temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns, among other things, over several decades or more.  How does global warming work? It's important to distinguish between climate change and global

The Truth  About Climate Change  In a few Words Why are we so concerned about climate change, what has caused it and what are the risks? The causes of the greenhouse effect created by human activities and the commitments made to reverse the trend. By Roberto R. Diaz Blanco Life on Earth exists thanks to a combination of three factors: the right distance from the Sun, the chemical composition of the atmosphere and the presence of the water cycle. Specifically, the atmosphere ensures that our planet has a climate suitable for life thanks to the so-called natural greenhouse effect. When the sun's rays reach the Earth's surface, they are partly absorbed and partly bounced outwards; if the atmosphere did not exist, they would be dispersed into space, but instead a good part of them are retained and sent back to Earth by some gasses present in the atmosphere, precisely the greenhouse gasses (among them are mainly carbon dioxide and methane, but also others such as water vapor). Thus
