The difference between climate and weather is that Earth's climate is the average conditions in a given place over many years, whereas weather includes only the immediate conditions for a specific place.

Climate change refers only to the increasing temperature of the Earth's surface.

Greenhouse gases act like a blanket in the atmosphere, trapping heat and warming the planet.

Without the human race, greenhouse gases would not exist.

Warmer temperatures will lead to increased food supplies due to longer growing seasons.

Warmer temperatures are NOT responsible for the recent increased severity of hurricanes.

Climate change is expected to be responsible for the extinction of 30% of current animal species.

Climate change will only cause a small increase in temperature.

Allergies and asthma will get better because of the decrease in humidity associated with climate change.

Wildfires will be more intense and more frequent in the future.

Human-caused emissions of carbon come from both the burning of fossil fuels and from land-use changes such as deforestation and land-clearing.

Climate change is something that will affect future generations, it is NOT happening now.

You are glad to be back in school.
