What is climate change? Climate change, or global warming, is the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth. Climate change has been a topic that has been talked about for awhile now. If it is happening, if it is not, if humans cause it, and if it is happening naturally.

As the Earth revolves around the sun once a year, the direction of the rotational axis stays nearly fixed in space. So, when the Earth is at a certain place in its orbit, the Northern
