What is climate change?
Climate change is the continues change in the climate from the affects of humans polluting the Earth with green house gasses.

Context: The annual mean of global temperatures from 1800 to 2021.
Trend: Global temperatures have been increasing steadily since 1800.
Data Specifics: In 1880 the annual temperature mean was -0.16 *C, then in 2021 it had increased to 0.85 *C.

Currency/Relevancy: It was last updated in August 2019, so its quite relevant.

Credibility: Its from the Environmental Protection Agency, so its very much credible for this topic since their dedicated in protecting and understanding the environment, including the atmosphere.

Bias: Theres little no bias since they focus in scientific data and not politics. However, since their a government organization, the government may make decisions to not publish certain data.




According to the EPA, with their article Climate Change Science, descrbies how natural procceses effect the climate, how human actions have affected the climate, and how climate change is damaging to the Earth.





The article discuses natural process that effect the climate by stating how the axis of Earth's rotation substantially effects where heat maybe on the Earth. It also describes how volcanic activty plays a role in climate change since vocanos spew out large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmospher. Lastly the artlce describes hpw glacial cycles effect the climate since depending on the amount of ice, more or less sun light maybe deflected back into spcae. The less light their is, the less heat there will be.





The article also discusses human actions have an impact on the climate. In that the activities people do, like driving, releases greenhouse gasses that leads to global warming, which increases global temperature way too fast. It also states what the different types of greenhouse gasses are, like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which have been emited by human activity. Lastly it states how over time, the amount of greenhouse gasses has been increasing, visualy showing how the levels of those greenhouse gasses are at dangerous levels.





Lastly, the article discusses how climate change is damaging to the Earth. Firstly, it illustrates how as temperatures increase, more life will be killed off. Secondly, it depicts how ecosystems would change to something different then what they were before, due to rising temperatures. Lastly, it portrays how larger animals will become smaller over time due to rising temperatures.
