Global Warming

Global Warming:

The term used to describe the rapid changes in Earth’s climate in recent decades. Global warming does not refer to weather, which happens every day. It refers to climate, which is the average weather in a particular place over a period of years. It’s possible that the weather on any day in any place might be cool or cold, but the average weather, the climate, is getting warmer.
