Global Climate Change
Global climate change encompasses the long-term fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, wind, and all other aspects of the earth's climate. Global climate change is a natural process that has been exacerbated by human activity and is defined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as "a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods."
