Climate change encompasses global warming but refers to the broader range of changes. They have distinct meanings.
Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are entrusted to have increased earth's global average temperature by 1 ° Fahrenheit, a number that is currently increasing by 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. Most of the current warming trend I extremely likely the result of human activity and is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over decades to millennia, particularly fossil fuel burning. These human-produced temperature increases are commonly referred to as global warming.
Natural processes can also contribute to climate change, including internal variability like cyclical ocean patterns, volcanic activity and variations in earth's orbit.
Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Global warming in today's scenario is threat to the survival of mankind.
Mankind should explore non-conventional energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy and hydrogen which may help for the sustainable fossil fuel reserves and reduce the tail pipe emission and other pollutants. This may lead to environmentally and ecologically better future.
