Key concept: Climate Change:

Causes: Releasing greenhouse gases into the air when burning fossil fuels. Deforestation also causes climate change because trees absorb CO2 and also release it when cut down.

Consequence: Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, overall increase in global temperatures, decrease in biodiversity (many other consequences too)
