Several things cause it to change, and indeed it is always in a state of flux. Most notably is its orbital variations through very long periods (tens of thousands of years), which has caused past ice ages. Second would be variations in solar output from the sun, such as sun spots. Finally, dominating changes recently is the increase in greenhouse gases emitted by humans, warming the earth and causing other changes within the system.
Many things,a big one is the radiation from the sun. Also the earth's rotation, heat from the earth, the earth's tilting cycle and its rotation around the sun ( which all branch off from the first part). The one that is most understood though is that the earth goes through a natural heating up and cooling down cycle which has become more rapid because of the large amount of CO2 in the athmosphere which shouldn't be there.

How does earths position cause climate change?
Cause it depends how close the Earth is to the Sun
What changes in the earth orbit and the tilt of the earths axis cause ice ages?
Climate
Why is the ozone layer impotance to the climate change?
The ozone layer is very important to climate change. It's depletion can cause climate adversity.
How can HAARP project cause climate change?
It can't...
Why does the rise in temperature cause our climate to change?
Define "climate". Note the importance of temperature.
How does earths position cause climate change?
Cause it depends how close the Earth is to the Sun
How can the periodic change in the shape of earths orbit cause a change in climate?
There is no 'periodic' change in the earths orbit. The orbit is elliptical and over time (a great many years) becomes less so.
List some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations?
Some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations would be climate and water. Water can cause animals to create gills and climate can change the outside of organisms.
Name two factors that cause season and climate to change?
1. The position of the sun. This is the biggest factor. The suns distance and angle to the earths surface effects the temperature and climate. 2. Sea temperature. The temperature of the seas help to form storms that effect the climate. People debate whether man is effecting the climate or not.
What are two natural factors caused by nature that can cause extinctions?
climate change and asteroid impact
How might enviromental factors might cause extinction?
Well, environmental factors like climate change can cause a species to die out because they were not able to adapt to their environment.
Does ozone depletion cause climate change?
Yes, ozone depletion can cause climate change. It causes greenhouse effect which can then cause climate change.
What changes in the earth orbit and the tilt of the earths axis cause ice ages?
Climate
What cause wheathering?
Climate change
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
How does a hurricane cause the climate to change?
They don't. It is believed that climate change can increase the number of hurricanes.
Why do volcanoes cause earths climate get colder?
Volcanoes cause Earth's climate to get colder because their airborne debris reduce insulation.
