Climate change refers to significant and lasting alterations in global or regional climate patterns, particularly a rise in average global temperatures. It is primarily driven by human activities, notably the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to the greenhouse effect, which causes a wide range of environmental impacts. Climate change manifests through rising sea levels, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, changes in precipitation patterns, and shifting ecosystems and species distributions. The phenomenon poses significant challenges to natural and human systems, impacting agriculture, water resources, health, and biodiversity. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation, sustainable practices, and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience to its effects.
Solar superstorms pose a significant threat to Earth's technology, especially our satellite-dependent systems. These cosmic events can disrupt global navigation, potentially crippling industries like logistics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Historical events,…
