Climate Change 

The climate of the earth is constantly changing.  This was due to natural causes in the past, but now climate change generally refers to changes in the climate as a result of human behavior.

The greenhouse effect has a large impact on climate change, as it relates to the gases which keep the earth warm.  The extra greenhouse gases emitted by human behavior pose a threat on the environment, and this has a lasting effect on the changing climate.

The impacts of climate change are substantial, with an increase in precipitation and sea levels rising, leading to more floods, and changing temperatures.  This affects both humans and animals.
