Climate change is defined as a change in the global atmosphere resulting from human impacts on the natural environment. The document outlines both human causes such as burning forests, industrial emissions, deforestation, and coal mine greenhouse gases. Natural causes include volcanic emissions and ocean currents. The impacts of climate change discussed are droughts, rising sea levels from melting ice, and increased temperatures.

natural environment.

4. Human causes
• The burning of forestry
• Industrial processes such as the release of Sulphur dioxide.
• The cutting down of trees
• The emission of greenhouse gases from coal mine such carbon monoxide.

5. Natural causes
• Gases released from volcanic eruption such as Sulphur dioxide.
• Warm and cold ocean currents, eg the cold benguela current brings dry
weather conditions on the natural environment.

6. The impacts
• Drought, no water for irrigation crops
