Summary
Climate change is the increase and decrease in average temperature. There is a climate change happening right now. But the thing is that this is not a natural climate change like the other ones. This climate change is caused by humans and their carbon/methane emissions you've heard so much about. Carbon emissions are caused by oil refineries, gasoline burning, and factories. Methane (which is 7-10 times more potent) is caused by food waste.

To demonstrate/model this process we used a lot of online simulators and models here: https://has.portal.concord.org/. This brought me closer to master on this subject because it helped me understand what helps the environment and what harms it. I found out that we have to bring our carbon emissions down by 50% of 2010 emissions. Our temperature is rising rapidly. I personally doubt that we can lower our emissions that much.

The act of adding more carbon into the atmosphere, then getting hotter is cause and effect. This is because one thing happens, that another thing happens because of that. There are such things as positive feed back loops where one thing causes another, that causes the original thing again. An example of this is CO2 making it hotter. The more water evaporates, holding more heat in the atmosphere, etc. There is also another process that is happening. It gets hotter, more water evaporates, making clouds, making it cool off. These are just some examples of cause and effect in our climate.
