The Human Effect On Climate Change And Global Disasters
By the Urban News Ninja
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.
In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate. It may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as “global warming” or “anthropogenic global warming” (AGW).
For information on temperature measurements over various periods, and the data sources available, see temperature record. For attribution of climate change over the past century, see attribution of recent climate change.

How Climate Change Can Change Conservation: From “Invasive” to “Invaluable”
Change is in the air – and in the sea and on the land. In fact, the entire planet is undergoing a transformation called climate change.
Temperatures will rise, along with humidity and the level of the oceans. Storms will be more severe, along with droughts and floods. Animals and plants and microorganisms will have to adapt to survive. Some species will not make it. Others will evolve and adapt to the new, changing ecosystem conditions.
However, despite all this change that is acknowledged and feared by governments throughout the world, there has been no change in the way we conserve our natural resources and protect endangered species.
