00:00Understanding climate change, what it is, and why it matters.
00:04Our planet is changing, and fast, but what exactly is climate change?
00:09It's the long-term shift in Earth's weather patterns,
00:12mainly caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels.
00:16This releases greenhouse gases, trapping heat and making our planet warmer.
00:21Since the industrial era, Earth's temperature has risen by 1 degree Celsius,
00:26and it's climbing by more than 0.2 degrees per decade.
00:29That may sound small, but the effects are massive.
00:33Stronger hurricanes, intense wildfires, rising sea levels, climate change is behind it all.
00:39But wait, what about global warming, and how is it different from weather?
00:44Global warming is just one part of climate change, focused on Earth's rising temperature.
00:49Weather is your daily forecast, but climate is the bigger, long-term picture.
00:55The truth is, climate change is real. It's happening now, but we still have time to act.
