Causes, Effects, and Predictions of the Global Climate Change: 2012–2026

Abstract

This paper discusses the causes, effects, present state, reality, aspirations, and predictions of climate change from 2012 to 2026. It was noted that despite climate being a natural occurrence, humans are the major cause of the changes in climate through diverse activities such as the emission of greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄, CFCs, N₂O), and deforestation. These causes have led to the current state of the climate which has led to extreme global temperatures and weather conditions such as floods. The study propounded some remedies to the climate crisis including early warning and sensitization through Environmental education, climate action and finance, and climate mitigations and adaptions. The discussion of the study could help in planning activities in organising an initial educational sensitization programme about climate change.
