WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE<\/strong>!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Climate change is the process of our planet heating up. Thanks to human activity like farming, burning fossil fuels and deforestation, the Earth has warmed up by about 1\u00b0C in the last 200 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will make our weather more extreme and unpredictable, meaning more rainfall, shrinking sea ice, rising sea levels and disrupted seasons. Sadly, many animals (and humans!) might find they\u2019re not able to adapt to this changing climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
