Pathfinder: Climatic Changes

Definition:

This term is "commonly used interchangeably with "global warming" and "the greenhouse effect", but is a more descriptive term".

Climate change refers to the "buildup of man-made gases in the atmosphere that trap the suns heat, causing changes in weather patterns on a global scale".

The "effects include changes in rainfall patterns, sea level rise,potential droughts, habitat loss, and heat stress".

[Quoted from: Enviro-Glossary, http://www.green-networld.com/facts/glossary.htm]
