Climate change has many impacts on the earth, and to humans. Humans have been altering the composition of the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, including oil, gas and coal. When these are burned, Carbon dioxide is produced and builds up in the atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect. Other greenhouse gases that contribute to this effect include methane, and Nitrogen from nitrogen-based fertilizers.The greenhouse effect traps energy from the sun, and raises the temperature of the earth.This rising temperature is called Climate Change
