Causes of Climate Change
Causes of Climate Change
There are three types of climate change:
The normal, natural climate change, which has been happening forever, is due to fluctuations in Earth's movement around the Sun, plus its tilt and wobble.
Then, there are short-term perturbations in Earth's natural climate systems caused by sun-spot activity, volcanic eruptions and phenomena like the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) which includes La Niña. However, since climate is a 30-years average of conditions, these aren't truly climate changers, but part of the normal changes we experience here on Earth.
Finally, there is enhanced climate change or anthropogenic climate change – the recent, very rapid warming of Earth due to the influences of people: burning fossil fuels, deforestation, agriculture and trade.
