Some people prefer to use the term "climate change" because it encompasses the broader effects of global warming beyond just rising temperatures. The term includes changes in ecosystems, weather patterns, sea levels, and other impacts caused by human activities that alter the Earth's climate.
Some articles that discuss the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems include "Climate Change Impacts on Marine Ecosystems" and "The Effects of Global Warming on Ocean Life."
"The Impact of Climate Change on Global Biodiversity" "Mitigating Climate Change through Renewable Energy Solutions" "Adaptation Strategies for Communities Vulnerable to Climate Change" "The Role of Policy in Addressing Climate Change" "Climate Change and its Effects on Public Health"

Here are some examples of scientific paper titles that include the keyword "climate change": "The Impact of Climate Change on Coral Reef Ecosystems" "Mitigation Strategies for Climate Change in Agriculture" "Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Global Biodiversity" "Modeling Future Sea Level Rise Due to Climate Change" "The Role of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change"
There are probably three "big" questions that preteens might ask about global climate change.How will I be affected by global climate change?What are the consequences of global climate change?What can be done to fight global climate change?If these questions seem a bit "advanced" for preteens here's a suggestion: do not sell them short. They know what time it is. They know what's going on.
One major global event was in November of 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated.
it shapes the landscape of the land.
History of climate change throughout the years, factors causing global warming such as methane gas and water vapor, the effects of CO2 on temperature is probably over-done, but something comparing the amounts of say, CO2 and water vapor in the atmosphere and their relative effects on insulating the atmosphere and the ensuing global warming would be more original.
It's difficult to know. Some people think the recent events like major floods in Australia and Thailand, or the extreme cold winters in Europe are signs of the climate changing. Others say these are just unusual but normal events. Climate is a change over time, not just from one year to another, so most people will wait to be sure.
