Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weatherpatterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average.
Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. Climate changes in response to changes in the global energy balance. On the broadest scale, the rate at which energy is received from the sun and the rate at which it is lost to space determine the equilibrium temperature and climate of Earth. This energy is then distributed around the globe by winds, ocean currents, and other mechanisms to affect the climates of different regions.Factors that can shape climate are called climate forcings or "forcing mechanisms". These include such processes as variations in solar radiation, deviations in the Earth's orbit, mountain-building and continental drift, and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that can either amplify or diminish the initial forcing. Some parts of the climate system, such as the oceans and ice caps, respond slowly in reaction to climate forcings, while others respond more quickly.
To prevent climate change, you will have to do your part and learn to live a green life. Electricity, automobiles, and all carbon emissions are the main causes of climate change.
