A-Level Geography Climate Change Revision Notes

• 1Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
• 2Human activities, such as deforestation and industrial processes, contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions.
• 3Climate change results in rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss.
• 4Mitigation strategies include reducing emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, and enhancing carbon sinks.
• 5Adaptation strategies involve adjusting practices and infrastructure to minimize the impacts of climate change.

Climate change is when the Earth's climate becomes warmer due to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This leads to problems like rising sea levels and more extreme weather. To combat climate change, we can reduce emissions and switch to cleaner energy sources.
