Key Insights
The Hidden Risks of Climate Change
Global warming is the number one factor affecting climate change today. It is a subset of climate change and describes the increase in Earth’s average temperature as a result of increased greenhouse gas build up. Most people think of climate change and global warming as interchangeable, however one major difference is that climate change generally has an effect globally, regionally and locally whereas global warming has a worldwide effect.


What are you doing to help combat the effects of global warming?
