global warming and climate change
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, causing an imbalance in the Earth's natural greenhouse effect. Climate change, on the other hand, is the broader term that encompasses the shifts in patterns and variations of weather conditions, including temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and more, as a result of global warming.
